Why did Oli take the leadership of a high-level political mechanism that is not recognized by the constitution? Sharma raised a question.
Sharma also argued that his party should get the Speaker's post to promote the recognition of the ruling party as the government and the opposition as parliament. He said that his party is the main opposition party and should get the Speaker's post as the largest party.
Chief Minister Sharma recalled the Prime Ministership of KP Oli and said that they do not want a Speaker who does not support the Prime Minister and a President who does unnecessary support.
