KATHMANDU: Chief Minister Satish Singh of the Madhesh provincial government has suspended all ministers, except those representing the Janamat Party and CPN-UML.
According to the Secretariat of the Chief Minister, the suspension came after the ministers refused to step down at CM Singh’s request.
The suspended ministers include Bharat Sah, Finance Minister, and Yubraj Bhattari, Tourism Minister, both from the CPN (Maoist Center).
Govinda Neupane, Agriculture Minister, and Bechi Lungeli, Drinking Water Minister, from the CPN (Unified Socialist) were also suspended.
Additionally, Urmila Chaudhary, Labor Minister from the Nagarik Unmukti Party, and Bimala Ansari, Home Minister from the Nepal Sanghiya Samajbadi Party, were affected by the suspension.
This political shakeup follows the recent shift in federal political dynamics, where the CPN-UML ended its alliance with the ruling Maoist Center and formed a coalition with the Nepali Congress, impacting the provincial government as well.
