Lumbini Province Chief Minister Dilli Bahadur Chaudhary, who was in the minority after the Maoist Center withdrew its support, has stepped up his efforts to gain a majority. Chief Minister Chaudhary is now supported by 43 state assembly members. After the Janata Samaj Party joined the new coalition of the federal government, Chaudhary has been trying to save the government even though he has given more ministries to civil liberties in the government. On Saturday, he held a secret meeting with civil rights leader Resham Chaudhary in Butwal.
In a hotel in Butwal, Choudhary, who became the chief minister from the Congress, Dhanendra Karki, a member of the state assembly, and Deepak Giri, a member of the representative assembly, were present. Leader Chaudhary from Civil Liberation, General Secretary Thakursingh Tharu elected from the new session, Minister of State Government Dharma Bahadur Chaudhary participated in the discussion. In the discussion, Unmukti is said to have asked for one more minister and one state minister in Lumbini province. Unmukti, which now has only one minister, has asked for the Ministry of Finance and Urban Development left behind by the Maoists. Chief Minister Choudhary has asked not to leave the government saying that he will discuss with other small parties and then come to a conclusion.
In Lumbini there are 4 state assembly members of civil rights. Although Jaspa has left the government, Chief Minister Choudhary is trying to keep Civil Immunity, which has 4 members, and RPR, LoSP, and Janmaat, which has 3 members each, in the government. Similarly, the Chief Minister is also working on getting the National People's Front, which has one independent member and one member, to join the government. Chief Minister Chaudhary is supported by 27 members of Congress, Civil Immunity, RPP, LOSPA and Janmat, who can save Madheshist small parties, independents and Jan Morcha as well. Sources close to the Chief Minister said that he is trying to save the government by managing the two members of the Independent and Jan Morcha.
While Chief Minister Choudhary is running to save the government, UML and Maoists of the new alliance have not prioritized government formation. Even though UML parliamentary party leader Leela Giri has returned from Kathmandu, he has said that there is no need to rush as yet which party will be the chief minister in Lumbini province. Similarly, Maoist parliamentary party leader Jokh Bahadur Mahara has been in Kathmandu for 5 days claiming to get the Chief Minister.
The Maoists, who have 11 MPs, are also internally trying to change the leader of the parliamentary party regarding the issue of government formation in Lumbini. Sources said that 7 out of 11 agreed with the decision to change the leader of the parliamentary party. "An effort is being made to make Dhan Bahadur Maski, who was the finance minister in the Chaudhary government, the leader of the parliamentary party," the source said, "for that, 7 people have signed and moved forward." Sudarshan Baral, chairman of Maoist Lumbini, said that this cannot happen now. Now, when the Maoists have got the chief minister in Lumbini, it cannot be anyone other than Jokh Bahadur Mahara. I have come to Kathmandu even now for that purpose,' he said, 'If such an attempt is made, 7 people will be on 7 sides.' He said that it is better to pave the way according to the current new situation. "We are asking to pave the way, that is also a matter of ethics," he said, "No, I will not leave, if he says that I will use my facilities, that is his right." There are 87 members in Lumbini province. After one MP of RPP was suspended, now 86 members remain.
44 votes are needed to form the government. The new coalition now has 43 members including 29 from UML, 11 from Maoist including Speaker, 3 from Jaspa and 1 from United Socialist Party. The new alliance is also claiming that the majority is with them, as even one person elected as an independent rebel from the Maoists supports the new alliance. In such a situation, RPP, which has 3 provincial assembly members, is in turmoil.
