Personal life
Oli is married to Radhika Shakya. He met his wife, a fellow communist, after he was released from
prison. They first met during party activities and married later.[80]

Health issues
Oli has twice undergone kidney transplant. The first transplant was done in 2007 in Apollo
Hospital, New Delhi.[81] The second transplant was carried out in 2020 in Tribhuvan University
Teaching Hospital, Kathmandu. For the second transplant, he received kidney from 32-year-old
Samikshya Sangraula, who is reportedly Oli's niece by relation. A senior transplant surgeon from
New Delhi, who had done his transplant in 2007, was also present to assist the procedure in
Kathmandu.[82]

Controversial claims
Oli is known for his tongue-in-cheek remarks and use of various slang and proverbs (Nepali: उखान
टुक्का, romanized: Ukhān ṭukkā), often with double meanings and criticism; some directed to his own
party.[83][84] Oli claims he learnt this technique during the Panchayat era when he was
underground to entertain his colleagues.[84] Sometimes he is alleged as a Comedian in Politics.
Some of his controversial claims are:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KP_Sharma_Oli 7/17
7/16/24, 9:54 PM KP Sharma Oli - Wikipedia

Super computer, February 2019: Oli claimed that the world is amazed by the supercomputer
being built by Nepal. He was referring to a computer that was being built in the Banepa IT
Park, which the makers have claimed to be a supercomputer in spite of its lacking computing
power.[85]
Rhino and Mount Everest, August 2019: Oli claimed rhinoceros should be called using the
Nepali word for the animal, Gainda (Nepali: गैँडा, romanized: Gaim̐ ḍā) instead of rhinoceros and
Mount Everest should be known as Sagarmatha (Nepali: सगरमाथा, romanized: Sagarmāthā) by
everyone.[86] He said, "...Do you know what gaida [is]? You people know gaida as rhino. But
rhinos are not rhinos, they are gaida. I request you to remember this word—gaida...".[87]
Indian coronavirus, May 2020: During the COVID-19 pandemic in Nepal, Oli had lashed out
at India, saying that the “Indian virus” was more dangerous than the “Chinese or Italian virus”
and even made light of the Indian national emblem.[88] He said this during an address to the
parliament where he blamed the rising number of coronavirus cases on individuals breaking
the nationwide lockdown, especially those sneaking into Nepal from India, claiming that
"people coming from India through illegal channels are spreading the virus in the country."[89]
This sparked a round of media attention in India.[90][91]
Sneeze out the virus, June 2020: While addressing the National Assembly, Oli claimed,
“...Corona is like the flu, if contracted, one should sneeze, drink hot water and drive the virus
away...” generating ridicule in the national media and social networks. He also claimed ginger,
garlic and turmeric are known to have vitamins and antioxidants that can help boost the
immune system to fight coronavirus.[92]
Lord Rama is a Nepali, July 2020: While addressing a function celebrating the 207th birth
anniversary of poet Bhanubhakta Acharya, Oli said Lord Rama was born in Nepal and India
had created a fake Ayodhya.[93][94][95] He claimed Thori, a place near Birgunj in southern
Nepal, to be the birthplace of Rama and it was impossible for Rama to reach Janakpur in
eastern Nepal to marry Sita from Ayodhya in India. He later ordered to investigate this matter,
asking officials in the region to study about the whereabouts of Ayodhyapuri.[96] He also
claimed to have found strong evidences of the real Ayodhya, including ruins supposedly of
Someshwar Gadhi and Valmiki Ashram, both of whom are associated with Lord Rama.[96]
Yoga originated in Nepal, June 2021: On the occasion of International Day of Yoga on 21
June 2021, Oli claimed that Yoga originated in Uttarakhand and Nepal in particular.[97]
According to him, India as a country did not exist at the time when Yogic science was
founded.[98][99][100] This caused series of backlash from Nepali and Indian social media.[101]
