In KP Oli Stepping Straight down As Nepal PM, India's Foreign Policy Seen VindicatedNepalese Prime Minister KP Oli, known as steering the Himalayan nation closer to Beijing than New Delhi, has stepped down. And in his resignation, some diplomatic observers see a vindication of India's foreign plan.

Major political parties like the Nepali Congress, Maoist Communist party (CPN-MC) and the CPN-United came to together to raise merged strength of 292 in the 598 member Component Assembly by Sunday, against Mr Oli's party which has 175 seats - far less than the 299 needed to get a vote of self-confidence.

One of the reasons for Mr Oli's waning popularity was his point towards Beijing, sending India-Nepal relations into a free-fall. The redrawing of the provinces in Nepal, marginalising the Madhesi community added to the bitterness and India was forced to part of.

Mr Oli used India's support for the Madhesi community to rationalize his pro-China policy. Although sourcing essential commodities through the Tibetan Plateau and reducing its dependence on India developed into difficult and impractical.
