Bagmati Province Government Sees Repeated Delays in Resignations by CPN-UML Ministers

Hetauda. The deadline for the resignation of ministers from the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist) [CPN-UML] from the Bagmati Province government has been continuously postponed. Despite preparing to resign multiple times after changes in the ruling coalition, six ministers from the CPN-UML have not yet separated from the government.

Specifically, among the 14 ministers in the 8 ministries of the province, only 3 out of the 6 CPN-UML ministers have been given departmental responsibilities. The CPN-UML, which has 3 ministers without portfolios, has been discussing resignations continuously since Asar 32.
