Abstract
Has left-wing populist Nepali government worsened Covid-19 situations in Nepal? While evidences suggest that right-wing populist leaders across the world have performed much worse, it is still unclear that how left-wing populist leaders have responded to Covid-19. Hence, drawing on critical narrative inquiry method, this study discusses the intersectionality of left-wing populist government and ongoing Covid-19 situations in Nepal. Data drawn from multiple sources, for example, opinion and editorial pieces, social media, government official documents, reports from non-government agencies, and personal communication, suggest that left-wing populist Nepali government has been detrimental to respond and manage Covid-19 in Nepal. Clearly more studies are required as Covid-19 is not over; notwithstanding, this study that was conducted within limited time of span found that left-wing populism poses a grave risk not only to manage Covid-19 but also to respond to the social, economic, and political impacts resulting from Covid-19.
