Too many tos

Will peace descend on Nepal? This is a serious question today as the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoists) has resigned from the interim government led by Girija Prashad Koirala to put pressure on him to step down to make way for the CPN(M) to form the next government.

The second sentence is long and has too many "tos". Does this make the sentence sound awkward? I would appreciate your comments. Thanks

Abil The second sentence is long and has too many " to s". Does this make the sentence sound awkward? That seems a fair assessment of the situation, yes.

But the sentence is not "fair", isn't it, Mr. CJ?

I think there's a misunderstanding. I was saying that I agreed that the sentence was too long and had too many "to"s. It is grammatically correct, however, if that's what you are asking. Would you like to write it again a different way? Maybe you can improve it by changing it.
