I'm not sure it's particularly left or right leaning, there was a ban on social media, protests against the ban and the protestors were shot by armed police which sparked more protests and riots, the major grievance seems to be political corruption.

I don't think any of ^ really slots into a traditional left/right framework, that said the more I read about Nepalese politics the more confused I become.

the corrupt government they are overthrowing is a coalition between Nepali Congress and the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxistโ€“Leninist). Although prime minister Oli comes from the communist partner in the coalition despite them being the minor partner? But I have also read that they unified ml party merged with another communist party a while back?

Either way, glad to see corrupt politicians being replaced.
