UML in Madhesh government, Manange in Gandaki

UML parliamentary party leader Saroj Kumar Yadav has been appointed as the physical infrastructure and development minister of the state. Provincial Chief Sumitra Subedi Bhandari, who took charge on Monday, administered the oath of office and secrecy to him. Chief Minister Yadav's press advisor Sitaram Agrahari said that the government has been reorganized with the participation of UML. The role of Congress ministers in the Madhesh government was supportive. That is why they have been automatically relieved of their posts by reorganizing the cabinet without dismissing them," Agrahari said.

There were 3 Congress ministers in the Madhesh government. Congress Parliamentary Party leader Krishna Prasad Yadav was the Minister for Physical Infrastructure and Development, Birendra Prasad Singh for Health and Population and Mohammad Samim for Home and Communications. After the new alliance was formed at the centre, Chief Minister Yadav asked them to resign and cooperate. However, the Congress ministers were sitting in the government saying that they would not resign but instead be dismissed.

Madhesh has 12 ministries including the Chief Minister. In the reconstituted cabinet, Chief Minister Yadav has kept four ministries with himself. UML has claimed 4 ministries. According to UML sources, other ministers and ministries have not been decided and because there are many MP aspirants within the party, the appointment of ministers has been delayed. Apart from the Chief Minister, Jaspa has taken three ministries namely Finance, Sports and Social Welfare, Energy, Irrigation and Drinking Water. The United Samajwadi Party has been given the Ministry of Land Management, Agriculture and Cooperatives and the LOSPA has been given the Ministry of Forests and Environment. Maoists have taken over the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Tourism.

Chief Minister Yadav said that the matter of giving other ministries to UML is yet to be agreed upon. "Madhesh province will also run according to the federal alliance," he said, "the cabinet has been reorganized accordingly."

During Yadav's 14-month tenure, the Congress became a reliable supporter while taking the vote of confidence three times. He became the Chief Minister on 27th December 2079 from the third largest party Janata Samajwadi Party (JSP) in Madhesh. At that time, the Yadav-led government had the support of UML, Janmat, Maoist Center and LOSPA. Even at that time Saroj, the leader of the UML parliamentary party, was the Minister of Physical Infrastructure and Development. After the UML left the federal coalition last year, it also affected the Madhesh government. By removing the UML minister, Chief Minister Yadav brought Congress and United Socialists into the government.

The Janmat Party left the Madhesh government after a dispute broke out over the foundation stone of the Agricultural University in Rajviraj, Saptari. Congress gave him a vote of confidence when Yadav was appointed Chief Minister, left the UML to form another coalition government and the public opinion withdrew its support. There are 23 MPs in the Madhesh Provincial Assembly, 23 from the Congress, 18 from the JSP, 13 from Janmat, 9 each from the Maoist and LOSPA, 7 from the United Socialist Party, 3 from the Independent Party, 1 each from the RPP, Rizwan Ansari's Nepal Federal Samajwadi Party and Civil Liberties Party. are.

Meanwhile, after the Maoists withdrew their support, the Chief Minister of Gandaki Province, Surendra Raj Pandey, has made the independently elected MP Rajeev Gurung (Deepak Manange) participate in the government to gain a majority. Chief Minister Pandey gave Manange the responsibility of the Ministry of Physical Infrastructure Development and Transport Management on Monday. Similarly, the responsibility of the Ministry of Social Development and Health has been given to Mahendra Dhwaj GC, who is also the Minister of Land Management, Agriculture and Cooperatives. Provincial Chief Minister Dilliraj Bhatt administered the oath of office and secrecy on Monday afternoon.

Manange, MP of Manang 1 'B', affiliated to United Samajwadi, who was elected as an independent, submitted a letter to the Provincial Assembly Secretariat demanding independent status on Sunday. Earlier, it was discussed that he would become a minister from the quota of the United Socialists, but Chief Minister Pandey did not make him. After sacking two of its ministers who were part of the government, the Maoist Center withdrew its support to the government. Chief Minister Pandey should take a vote of confidence within Chait 21.

Minister Manange has responded that he participated in the government to stop the mid-term in Gandaki. I played football for a year. I have been in politics for four years now. To do politics, you have to stay in the government," he said. I will also support the government of the new coalition to maintain the government as per the requirement. He said that even earlier, when the political equation at the center changed, he had taken initiatives to continue the Khagraj Adhikari-led government in Gandaki. Manange said he chose the Physical Ministry because it will be 70 percent of the budget.

Chief Minister Pandey is trying to get RPP to participate in order to sustain the government. Pancharam Gurung, the leader of RPP parliamentary party, said that there was no discussion about going to the government. "I have submitted a report to the central committee about Gandaki province," said Gurung, who is also the state president of RP. 31 MPs are required to form the government in the 60-member Gandaki state assembly. Congress is the largest party with 27 MPs, while UML is the second largest party with 22 seats. Maoists have 8 seats including the Speaker, while RPP has two and one independent MP.
