PM Oli Challenges Gagan Thapa to Prove Bedroom Access Allegations

Kathmandu: Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has strongly responded to allegations of allowing middlemen into his bedroom. The statement directly addresses Nepali Congress General Secretary Gagan Thapa, who recently claimed that brokers had access to the Prime Minister’s private quarters. These Oli middlemen allegations have sparked a heated debate in Nepal’s political circles.

Thapa Links Economic Problems to Middlemen
Speaking at a program in Kathmandu on April 14, Thapa said Nepal’s current economic issues largely stem from middlemen. He stressed that brokers and the private sector are separate entities, raising concerns about undue influence over government policies.

PM Oli Criticizes “Scheming Politicians”
During the Fourth National Conference of the Madan Bhandari Foundation, PM Oli criticized politicians making baseless accusations. He said stability, development, and good governance are gaining momentum through the joint efforts of CPN-UML and Nepali Congress. According to Oli, opposition forces are spreading false claims to undermine progress.

“False accusations are being made as if the government has done nothing, as if we are committing crimes,” Oli said. “Nowadays, the blue-colored jackals are making a lot of noise, but their true nature will not last long.”

Oli Reaffirms UML’s Election Goals
Oli emphasized that the CPN-UML aims to become a decisive national force in upcoming elections. The party intends to pursue honest politics grounded in ideology and truth.

Addressing Rumors and Party Unity
Responding to rumors of a government collapse after Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba returns from Thailand, Oli said predictions of instability have failed. He also highlighted the need for internal party unity: “We need a sense of unity within the party. We must counter opposition accusations. Simply harboring critical awareness without confronting opponents is not the right path,” he said.
