Significance
The campaign is led by politician-turned-businessman Durga Prasai, who increasingly rails against Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal (‘Prachanda’). Prasai insists that it will continue until its goals are reached.
Impacts
The campaign would gather substantial momentum if Nepal’s various pro-monarchy groups united behind it.
Many people will be drawn to the movement because of worries about the economy and disillusionment over years of high-level corruption.
An intensified clampdown on protesters would expose Kathmandu to heavy criticism from human rights organisations.
