NC, UML demand Sodari’s resignation

Kailali, July 7: The Nepali Congress and the CPN UML have demanded resignation of Chief Minister of Sudurpaschim Province, Dirgha Bahadur Sodari.

Issuing a joint press statement on Sunday, the NC and UML demanded Chief Minister Sodari to resign from the post and pave way for the formation of a new government.

The joint statement has been signed by the parliamentary party leader of NC, Kamal Bahadur Shah, and the parliamentary party leader of UML, Rajendra Singh Rawal.

“As the government has lost its majority of support, we urge it not to take any long-term decision except daily works,” they mentioned. In the wake of the NC-UML agreement for the formation of a coalition government at the federal level, the UML has already withdrawn its support to the Sodari-led government in the province. The withdrawal has left the government in the minority.

Leader of CPN (Unified Socialist), Sodari was elected Chief Minister in Sudurpaschim Province with the support of UML and CPN (Maoist Centre), and a group of Nagarik Unmukti Party led by Ranjita Shrestha. RSS
