Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli changed Socialist Party’s chairman Upendra Yadav’s portfolio without consulting him. Yadav, DPM and Health Minister in the previous cabinet, has been assigned as the DPM and Minister for Law, that too, at a time, when he was on a visit to Delhi.
According to the Balwatar sources, PM Oli was not happy with the performance of Upendra Yadav and his Socialist Party. The government had announced to celebrate the constitutional day with fanfare. Yadav went to the US to escape the government celebration. On the other hand, Yadav’s party leaders in Nepal didn’t take part in the programmes organised to celebrate the constitutional day. Accordingly, Yadav’s party is performing a role like that of the opposition though it keeps remaining in the government, and this attitude had seriously hurt PM Oli. Therefore, Oli had decided to humiliate Yadav so that he will quit the government.
Why Yadav is participating in the government, that too is very surprising. Dr Baburam Bhattarai in the Socialist Party wants the party to quit from the government but Yadav’s group in the very party wants to stick in power even though PM Oli is not keen on implementation of the agreement between the Nepal Communist Party and the then Federal Republic Forum before Yadav joined the government. The main thrust of the agreement was amendment of the constitution.
On the other hand, Yadav’s party is holding informal meetings with the Rastriya Janata Party for unification of the two parties. Sources say that the two parties have reached to the stage of merger soon. The Indians have also shown keen interest on the unification of the two parties.
