Opinion | All is not well with the RSP
Summary
The Rastriya Swatantra Party's initial optimism is marred by inexperience and missteps, including controversial ambassador recalls and government-media tensions under Prime Minister Balendra Shah's leadership.
Key Points
- A significant portion of the electorate did not vote for RSP despite their recent government victory.
- The government's decision to recall all politically appointed ambassadors and select new ones through open competition has sparked criticism.
- Ministers' tendencies towards symbolic actions and issuing directives have been observed as ineffective governance practices.
- Internal rifts within the RSP and governance through a close circle around Prime Minister Balendra Shah raise concerns about effective leadership.
