Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has called a cabinet meeting while there is a dispute between the ruling Congress and the UML regarding the appointment of the governor. A minister informed that a cabinet meeting has been called at the Prime Minister's residence, Baluwatar, at 5:00 p.m.
After discussions between Prime Minister Oli and Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba on Tuesday, the Council of Ministers meeting was called. After Baluwatar did not come to meet Deuba on Monday, the Prime Minister postponed the Cabinet meeting.
The delay in appointing the governor of Nepal Rastra Bank has deepened distrust among the top leaders of the ruling Congress-UML. Congress Chairman Deuba is dissatisfied after Prime Minister Oli postponed the cabinet meeting on Monday, which was supposed to appoint the governor. He did not go to Baluwatar on Monday despite being called by the Prime Minister.
The top leaders of the two parties who played extreme politics in the process of appointing the governor have been entangled in this issue for two months. Although the Governor's Recommendation Committee was formed late on Chait 11, it has not yet held a single meeting. Instead, the committee itself has been reconstituted twice.
Last time a week ago, according to the proposal made by the Congress to make Vishwa Paudel, who is also the former vice-chairman of the Planning Commission, the governor, the Congress believed that the meeting of the recommendation committee would be held by Monday and the Council of Ministers would appoint him. However, Oli called Deuba to Baluwatar to discuss the appointment of the governor before the meeting of the Council of Ministers which was called at 6 pm.
