The government's work in Madhesh Province, which elected its third Chief Minister after the Gen-G agitation on Bhadra 23 and 24, has not gained momentum.
After the then Chief Minister Satish Kumar Singh resigned on Asoj 12, citing the reneging of his own party Janmat Party and the parties participating in the government, the Madhesh Province has seen a series of Chief Minister changes. The Madhesh government, which has become unstable after Singh's resignation, has recently changed 3 Chief Ministers.
After Singh, LSP MP Jitendra Sonal was appointed Chief Minister on Asoj 12 with the support of parties other than the Congress-UML. On the 24th day after his appointment as Chief Minister, on Kartik 22, two Maoist MPs Rahabar Ansari and Mala Karna rebelled during the vote of confidence and two Janmat MPs Singh and Tribhuvan Sah were absent.
After that, the rise to power in Madhesh Province became even more complicated. The political deadlock in Madhesh Province had escalated after the then Provincial Chief Sumitra Subedi Bhandari appointed and swore in Saroj Kumar Yadav (Mahottari), the leader of the UML parliamentary party, as the largest party, on Kartik 24 in a jhismise at a cottage in Bardibas on November 24.
Seven parties approached the Supreme Court against Yadav's appointment as the Chief Minister, calling it an unconstitutional step. As per the Supreme Court's mandate, the then Chief Minister Yadav had resigned on November 27 while taking a vote of confidence in the Provincial Assembly meeting. He also became the 24th Chief Minister of Madhesh Province. As per the Supreme Court's mandate, Provincial Chief Surendra Lav Karna appointed Krishna Prasad Yadav, the leader of the Nepali Congress parliamentary party, as the Chief Minister on November 24 with the support of 77 MPs from seven parties. Yadav took the vote of confidence on Friday, the 15th day after his appointment as the chief minister.
While the focus is on forming and changing the government, the ministries of the Madhesh Province government have become sluggish. Due to the lack of stability in the government in Madhesh Province, the work of the ministries is almost at a standstill. ‘The work of the ministries has not been able to move forward due to the formation and change of government,’ said an official of the Ministry of Sports and Social Welfare. ‘The work of the ministries has not been able to progress due to the coming and going of the ministry.’ The Ministry of Sports and Social Welfare has been without a minister since Asoj 28.
The rapid fall and change of government has also reduced the expenditure of the Madhesh Province government. The Madhesh Province government has been able to spend only 3.5 percent in the first quarter of the current fiscal year. According to the Provincial Accounts Control Office, Janakpur, the Madhesh government has spent only 1.62 billion 28 million rupees in the first quarter. In which 1.28 billion 42 million rupees were spent on the current budget and 338.5 million rupees on capital expenditure, informed Provincial Accounts Controller Manoj Kumar Jha.
In the first quarter of Madhesh Province, only 7.68 percent of the current budget and 1.18 percent of the capital budget have been spent. The Madhesh government has brought a budget of 46.98 billion 3351 thousand rupees in the fiscal year 2082/083. The first term of a single government in Madhesh was led by Lalbabu Raut of JSP Nepal. In the second term, 5 chief ministers have become chief ministers in 3 years.
