The opposition alliance of Nepali Congress (NC) and Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist Centre (CPN-Maoist Centre) on May 13 failed to gather majority in a bid to present claim to Government, paving way for KP Sharma Oli to once again take charge of national affairs, reports The Himalayan Times.President Bidya Devi Bhandari on May 10 had given the parliamentary parties three-days' time to form a majority government and present their claim at her office. However, as the deadline, which ends at 9:00 pm of May 13, for the same approaches, the NC-CPN-Maoist Centre alliance has its hopes crashing down as disgruntled Nepal-Khanal faction of the ruling Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist–Leninist (CPN-UML)did not forward their resignation, which they had been claiming to do for long as a bargaining chip with CPN-UML Chair Oli.
