Gita Timalsina Appointed Social Development Minister After Challenging 'Male Cabinet'

Biratnagar. On June 20, 2083, Koshi Province Assembly member Gita Timalsina strongly objected to the working style of the provincial government and challenged it to hand over the leadership of the Council of Ministers to women.

Speaking during the discussion on the Appropriation Bill, Timalsina termed Hikmat Kumar Karki's cabinet meeting as a 'male cabinet' and said, 'Give us this cabinet.' 'Perhaps there is one year left in the term, leave this male cabinet and give it to us women,' she said, 'We will run this provincial government much better than you, and show it in a way that the province residents will praise. We are ready to accept the challenge, are you ready?'
