Dhangadhi. In the far west, the UCPN (M) -led state government has gained a majority with the support of the CPN (Unified Socialist) formed after the UML split.
The UML, which is the largest party in the state assembly with 25 MPs, has become the largest party after 14 MPs elected a new party. The state government has 27 MPs, including 13 from the UCPN (M) and 14 from the Unified Socialists, which is the majority in the state government.
When Chief Minister Trilochan Bhatta took the no-confidence vote on May 9, 17 lawmakers from UML’s Madhav Kumar Nepal faction had given a vote of confidence while the Nepali Congress had remained neutral.
Though there are alliances of Nepali Congress, CPN-Maoist Center, Unified Socialists and Janata Samajwadi Dal in the center and some states, it has not been decided what will happen in the far west.
In the 52-member state assembly, the ruling party has 13 MPs from the CPN-Maoist Center, 12 from the Nepali Congress, 11 from the CPN-UML, one each from the Janata Samajwadi Party and the Loktantrik Samajwadi Party.
At the same time, 40 MPs have joined the ruling coalition. Despite a two-thirds majority in the ruling coalition, there has been no discussion on whether to change the structure of government.
Minister for Economic Affairs and Planning Prakash Bahadur Shah and Minister of State Archana Gahatraj, who joined the government but did not leave the CPN-UML after the split, have resigned. Expansion of the Council of Ministers is no longer a matter of forming a government with the Nepali Congress or maintaining only the Maoists and the Unified Socialists.
However, lawmakers from the UCPN (Maoist) and the UCPN (Maoist) said that other parties would not participate in the government. UCPN (Maoist) leader Punara Joshi, who is also the Minister for Internal Affairs and Law, said that the UCPN (Maoist) and the UCPN (Maoist) -led coalition government would continue.
“The CPN-UML may officially announce its withdrawal from the state government,” Joshi told Online Khabar. After the majority of the two parties, the Congress did not have to go to the government and will not go. But the alliance with the Nepali Congress will remain the same, she said.
CPN-Maoist Central Whip Akkal Rawal says that the state government will be led by Chief Minister Trilochan Bhatta with the support of the Unified Socialist Party. “If they want to, the Congress should be included in the government, but the government is led by the Maoists,” Rawal told online news.
According to Rawal, there is a possibility of a unified socialist in case the leadership of the government changes.
Aspiring for the post of Chief Minister, Congress parliamentary party leader Dr. Ran Bahadur Rawal said that he would move ahead on the basis of the decision to be taken by the central leadership of the alliance. “We will move forward according to what the central leadership of the coalition decides in all the seven states,” he said.
