The meeting of the Council of Ministers to be held on Monday has been postponed due to lack of agreement between the Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli and the ruling Congress Chairman Sher Bahadur Deuba regarding the appointment of the Governor of Nepal Rastra Bank. The meeting of the Council of Ministers, which was supposed to be held for the appointment of the governor, has been postponed.

A minister informed that the cabinet meeting was not held because the meeting of the governor's recommendation committee chaired by Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Bishnu Paudel was not held. The only agenda was to appoint the governor. The cabinet meeting has also been postponed as the recommendation committee meeting has not been held and the finance minister is busy preparing the budget, said the minister, adding that the cabinet meeting will be held only after the recommendation committee meeting for the appointment of the governor has been held. The finance minister should be busy with the budget. Even if the governor makes a recommendation after two-four days, it will happen.'
