In Karnali, the share is still not met, the Chief Minister is running the government alone

Even before he was appointed as the Chief Minister, the parties of the ruling coalition held several meetings. But the 7-day time given by the provincial chief started to run out as no agreement was reached. Because of this, Kandel submitted his claim to the Chief Minister only on the last day. Since then, there has been no meeting between the ruling party UML and the Maoists. After failing to reach consensus at the provincial level, within 2 days of taking the oath of Chief Minister, Kandel reached Kathmandu and met Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal and UML President KP Sharma Oli and other leaders. Although he returned to Surkhet on Tuesday, the leader of the Maoist Parliamentary Party and outgoing Chief Minister Rajkumar Sharma is still in Kathmandu. Because of this, a decisive meeting between the two parties could not be held. 'After the Chief Minister went to Kathmandu, the distance between the two parties has increased, it is not possible to say anything about when the Council of Ministers will be complete,' said a UML MP, 'There is agreement on other issues, the Ministry of Social Development has not been able to agree.' It has made its claim in the Ministry of Development, Industry and Water Resources and Energy.

UML Chief Whip Tekraj Pachai said that the Chief Minister wanted to give the Ministry of Social Development to UML for ease of work. "We are positive that the government will be completed as much as possible and the work of the government will be carried out with the agreement of both parties. It is necessary for the Maoists to adopt some flexibility for the agreement," he said -break Maoist MP Durg Bahadur Rawat said that the Chief Minister's stance could not resolve the issue. "Our party in Karnali is bigger than UML, so we are not in a position to agree on less than 4 ministries, we should get the ministry of our choice," he said. Ransingh Pariyar, chief whip of the Maoists, also said that there was a problem when the Chief Minister did not take the initiative for consensus. He said that the Chief Minister should take the initiative to end this deadlock.

Kamal Lamsal, vice-professor of Midwest University, said that both parties have claims in the Ministry of Social Development because there are more subordinate offices than others and more employees. "The work of the previous government was not very effective. Even now, the distance between the two parties seems to have a long-term effect on the work of the government," he said He said that for a long time the people have not been able to feel the provincial government.

The chief whip of UML says that the chief minister is in favor of expanding the cabinet soon and taking a vote of confidence. In the 40-member Karnali State Assembly, the Chief Minister has the support of 24 MPs. Kandel was appointed Chief Minister last Tuesday with the support of 10 UML, 13 Maoist and 1 Samajwadi MPs. There are 8 ministries in Karnali.
