![KP Oli's Reaction on Balen Shah's Status](http://media.assettype.com/dailynewsnepal%2F2024-06%2F6018d4f7-c63f-4e06-a410-3ac48df3b32c%2FKP_Oli_4.png?w=480&auto=format%2Ccompress&fit=max)
KP Sharma Oli, the leader of CPN-UML, has shifted questions regarding the contentious Giribandhu T-estate issue to Balen Shah.
Speaking to reporters at the Parliament building premises on Monday, Oli was questioned about his involvement in the Giribandhu Tea Estate scandal. Instead of providing a direct response, he stated, "Balen Shah knows everything. Ask him."
This deflection comes in the wake of Mayor Shah's provocative social media post earlier today. Shah alleged that UML President Oli was "tempted to distribute land to hide the Giribandhu T-Estate scam." This accusation has added a new layer of complexity to the already contentious issue.
The Giribandhu T-Estate case has been making headlines, though details about the nature of the scandal and the parties involved remain unclear. Oli's redirection of questions to Mayor Shah suggests a potential power play between the two political figures, each seemingly attempting to implicate the other in the controversy.
As the political saga continues, residents of Kathmandu and the entire nation of Nepal are questioning the reality of the Giribandhu T-Estate controversy. With prominent personalities accusing each other, the situation has become heavily politicized, prompting concerns about the openness and responsibility within Nepalese politics.
