Will Nepal see hung Parliament ?

Nepal is going to polls on March 5 and in all probability country is going to produce a Hung Parliament only.

Main reason is their electoral system. As it is having first past the post seats (165) plus proportional representation (110) also in the parliament . This arrangement is the root cause for a single party not gaining full majority due to presence of a large number of parties in the fray.

In the coming elections the main parties which are likely to gain seats are : Nepali Congress (NC), CPN-UML, Communist Party of Nepal (NCP), Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP), and Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP), 

Kerala to be renamed Keralam!

The Union Cabinet has approved the proposal to officially change the name of the state from “Kerala” to “Keralam.” The decision follows a long‑pending request from the state government to align the English name with its traditional Malayalam pronunciation, “Keralam.” The move comes after a formal resolution passed by the Kerala Legislative Assembly and clearance from the Ministry of Home Affairs, which consulted with other central departments and agencies before forwarding it to the Cabinet. Once notified, the new name will apply across the Constitution, official records, and government communications. The renaming seeks to restore cultural authenticity and linguistic accuracy, similar to past cases where Indian states and cities reverted to vernacular versions of their names. The Centre’s approval marks the final administrative step in the process, allowing Kerala’s name change to “Keralam” to take official effect nationwide.
