Apr 16, Kathmandu: The government has recommended the provincial chief call the parliament session for April 22. The provincial chief has called a meeting for 3 o'clock on April 22.
It seems that Chief Minister Khagraj Adhikari, who is in the minority in convening the Parliament is trying to address the Parliament even though it is not time for the Barkhe session to begin. If he does not receive a vote of confidence by April 22. This government will fall. But the Chief Minister is not clear whether to go for a vote of confidence or to resign.
According to government spokesperson and minister Roshan Gaha, they are going to proceed after discussions with other parties before the parliament session. The CM meets all the parties separately before the Parliament. We will move forward according to the conclusion that comes from the discussion," he said. "We will proceed according to the provisions of the constitution." The officials fell into the minority after the Maoists withdrew their support from the government on March 24.
According to sources, it is more likely that Rostam will resign without taking a vote of confidence by addressing the Parliament on April 22. There is no possibility of getting a vote of confidence. As there are very few seats in support, it is appropriate to resign from Rostam after the speech," said a source close to him.
Adhikari became the Chief Minister on 9 January with the support of 32 seats including Maoists and RPP. After the Maoists withdrew their support, the officials are left with the support of 24 seats. The support of 31 MPs is needed to form the government. The Maoists are now aligned with Congress. The new alliance has the support of 35 seats. There are 36 seats if there is a unified socialist. A Maoist MP has become the speaker.
