Lekhak, the home minister, also resigned late Monday after an emergency Cabinet meeting.
Sahil Singh, 29, an entrepreneur based in Kathmandu, said the movement was about stopping corruption and that Oli’s resignation was unlikely to placate protesters.
“I want a real change after this, I mean a good system and government,” he told NBC News in a phone interview. “Right now the whole country is in chaos.”
Singh said people started pouring on the streets around 7 a.m. Tuesday (9:15 p.m. ET), “without anybody in particular leading the protests.” By 9 a.m., he said, the crowds had swelled.
Though he saw people burning politicians’ offices and government buildings, the motive was not to vandalize property, Singh said: “People were angry against the politicians.”
