Lumbini Chief Minister Chetnarayan Acharya has expanded the cabinet. He appointed Santosh Kumar Pandey, the leader of the parliamentary party of LOSPA, as the vacant Minister of Youth and Sports on Sunday. With this, he will become a minister for the fourth time in the Lumbini state government.
Pandey was earlier Minister of Home Affairs and Law. Pandey, who has been a minister many times, helped pass the budget brought by the present government of the Congress-UML alliance. At the time of passing the budget, the opposition parties, including the main opposition party, boycotted the provincial assembly meeting, and the LOSPA, which was on the side of the ruling party, suddenly joined the opposition. At the same time, Congress-UML agreed to make Pandey a minister and returned the support to the government and forced him to sit in the opposition.
That same Pandey is now going to become the Minister of Youth and Sports. Pandey is preparing to take oath before the state chief on Monday. Pandey was twice Minister of Physical Infrastructure and once Minister of Home Affairs and Law .
There are 3 members of LOSPA in the Lumbini state assembly . With the addition of ministers from LOSPA to the government, 12 ministers including the Chief Minister have reached the Lumbini Provincial Assembly. Earlier, Congress had 5 and UML had 5 ministries including the Chief Minister . Among the two additional ministries, Jaspa has got the Minister of Internal Affairs and Law.
LOSPA has been given the Ministry of Youth and Sports . In Lumbini, UML has taken the Chief Ministership, Physical Infrastructure, Energy and Irrigation, Land Management, Agriculture and Cooperatives and Health ministries . Congress has taken the ministries of Economic Affairs and Planning, Urban Development and Water Supply, Social Development, Industry Tourism and Transport and Forest and Environment.
Pandey said that he has received information that the Chief Minister's office has already written to the office of the state chief to appoint him as the youth and sports minister. "I have received the information that the letter has already been sent to the provincial chief," he said, "There is an instruction to take the oath on Monday at 3 o'clock." I am preparing accordingly.' He also said that he has been a minister three times before and now he is about to become a minister for the fourth time.
