Gandaki Province Sees Shake-Up: Two CPN (Maoist Center) ministers suspended

KATHMANDU: As political tides ebb and flow at the federal level, the repercussions are felt in the heartlands of governance.

In a recent twist, Gandaki Province finds itself grappling with internal upheaval, marked by the suspension of two CPN (Maoist Center) ministers.

Chief Minister Surendra Raj Pandey has wielded the axe, temporarily sidelining Minister for Social Development, Sushil Simkhada, and Minister for Physical Infrastructure and Transport, Ramesh Bahadur Jughali.

In the wake of their suspension, CM Pandey has assumed the helm of both ministries, steering the ship through uncertain waters.

Meanwhile, on the national stage, CPN (Maoist Center) has orchestrated a seismic shift in alliances, forging a new pact with CPN-UML, RSP, and JSP, effectively dismantling the former coalition led by Nepali Congress.

Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal, seizing the moment, has orchestrated a cabinet makeover, appointing a trio of ministers from CPN (Maoist Center), CPN-UML, and RSP, respectively.

The winds of change blow fiercely across Gandaki Province, as the province navigates through the turbulent seas of political realignment.
