Several key political figures in the old coalition have been put under house arrest, including the leader of the Nepal Communist Party . The king has said that he removed the government of Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba because "it has failed to make necessary arrangements to hold elections by April and protect democracy, the sovereignty of the people and life and property".
