Manange's harsh satire on contemporary politics - 'I sell ministerial posts'

He said that he did not want the minister to see only the forests and bitter gourds growing in the state and also said that he has resigned from the post of Minister of Forest and Environment of Gandaki state. Having been a minister 6 times before, he argued that he has decided not to lead a ministry that is only in name and has no authority.

"Province has no rights in forests, especially the province does not need a Ministry of Forestry," he said. The ranger will see that. I am a person who is trying to work, what should I do when I go to the Ministry of Forestry?'

Manange also alleged that the leaders of most of the ministry centers in the province were created only to manage the leaders in the province. The Ministry of Energy in the province says that they do not have the right to look at the river or even the canal. The sports ministry says that after becoming a minister, a stadium should be built. All this is to make Sojhasidha stupid," he said, "I am not stupid. All the leaders in the party could not be made ministers. So they take them to the mayor, ward head. After that too, they reach the bus business association, vegetable market association. I am a free man. He also said that he asked the Chief Minister to give Munindrajung Gurung of the Congress, who had won from another constituency in Manang, because the ministry he had left was part of the Congress. He said, 'Experience is also good.' Satirizing big parties like Congress-UML, he responded that since he has been a minister 6 times before, he will become a minister the day forest rights come to the state. "I have a house, a car, I did not become a minister because I wanted to ride in a minister's car," he said, "They made me a minister when they supported me in difficult situations in the past. Even though I am not a minister now, there is no problem. Instead, this place is given to someone young.'

About a month and a half after the change of power alliance in the union, the UML participated in the Gandaki state government with four ministries on Monday. The dispute between the Congress and the UML regarding the distribution of ministries and the inclusion of other parties ended with the agreement to split the ministries.

UML took the position that Manange should not be made a minister. However, Chief Minister Pandey supported him during the crisis and made him a minister in the ministry that was part of the Congress.

After UML joined the government, Manange was removed from the Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transport and was given the responsibility of the Ministry of Forestry and Environment on Monday. Manange wanted to lead the Ministry of Social Development, Youth and Sports again. Congress's Vindukumar Thapa has continued in the Ministry of Social Development.

Chief Minister Pandey continued Manange as a minister from the 5 ministries that were part of the Congress after dividing the 7 ministries into 9 in order to balance the division. Chief Minister Pandey split the ministry and formed the Ministry of Forests and Environment to include Manange, who supported him in difficult situations. After Manange's resignation, even though the ministry is part of the Congress, it has not been decided who will be sent. Nepal Samajwadi Party Member of Parliament Fanindra Devkota from the Congress side is the Minister of Energy, Water Resources and Drinking Water.

UML has joined the government under the leadership of Padma GC. The GC has got the responsibility of the Ministry of Agriculture, Land Management and Cooperatives. Prakash Bahadur KC has got the responsibility of physical infrastructure and transport, Mitralal Basyal has got the responsibility of industry and tourism and Krishna Pathak has got the responsibility of the health ministry. The newly appointed ministers took oath with the state chief Dilliraj Bhatt on Monday. KC from Kaski was elected proportional MP after leaving RPP and joining UML before the last election. He is close to UML state parliamentary party leader Khagraj Adhikari. There is dissatisfaction within the UML because the old ones are being pushed aside and the newcomers are being made ministers.

Devkota, who continued in the Ministry of Energy, was earlier prosecuted by the Maoists for violating his whip. But the Supreme Court issued an interim order not to remove him from the post of MP. Since Devkota also supported him in the crisis, the Chief Minister took a stand to continue him in the government.
