He served three terms as prime minister from 11 October 2015 to 3 August 2016, from 15 February 2018 to 13 May 2021 as the first elected prime minister under the new constitution, and from 13 May 2021 to 13 July 2021. Oli is noted for taking a more hardline stance with regard to the Indian government during and in the aftermath of the 2015 Nepal blockade. He strengthened relations with China as an alternative to Nepal's traditional close trade ties with India and updated the map of Nepal by constitutional amendment including territories disputed with India, for which he has received some domestic praise and a reputation as a nationalist. Oli has been criticized for his overuse of tongue-in-cheek remarks, hostility towards his critics, silence on rampant corruption by his colleagues and business aides and most importantly on his inability to deliver on growth of economy and budget expenditure despite a historic majority in the 2017 legislative election.
