The decision to send more ministers to the government of Sudurpaschim Province, which is in the minority, has caused controversy in the Civil Liberties Party. Party president Ranjita Shrestha Chaudhary was seen protesting against the sending of ministers to the state government under the leadership of party patron Reshammalal Chaudhary. Due to this controversy, the civil liberties parliamentarians have divided into two groups.

The Congress-led state government earlier had Maoists, Civil Liberties and Unified Socialists as power partners. With the reshuffle of the power coalition at the centre, the ministers of the Maoist and United Socialists have been removed and both parties have withdrawn their support from the state government. The Chief Minister of the province, Kamal Bahadur Shah, on Friday night expanded the provincial council of ministers by adding two ministers and one minister of state from the civil immunity of 7 MPs. 

Shah has appointed Ghanshyam Chaudhary, the leader of the Civil Liberties Parliamentary Party, as Minister of State for Economic Affairs, Khusiram Dagoura Tharu as Minister of State without Department and Indira Giri as Minister of State for Land Management, Agriculture and Cooperatives. Rameshwar Choudhary of the said party is still the Minister of Land Management, Agriculture and Cooperatives. Earlier, Kailash Chaudhary, who was the Minister of State for Land Management, Agriculture and Cooperatives, has been removed. 

But the party president Shrestha, who is also Resham's wife, is angry that her party's MPs are participating in the government. She had instructed the ministers to return immediately on Friday. Chaudhary has said that the minister will not return. Ghanshyam Choudhary, the leader of the party, said that after President Shrestha instructed to withdraw from the government, they will hold a meeting of the parliamentary party and discuss further. We are in internal discussions. We will make a decision about the chairman's instructions at the party meeting,' he said, 'We will hold a party meeting soon.'

There is also a power struggle between Resham and Ranjita in the decision-making process of civil liberties. Resham is deciding whether to go/not to go to the government under his instructions. Ranjita also says that his decision will be final. A new working committee was formed under the leadership of Resham through the National Congress of Civil Liberties in Tikapur of Kailali on 26th December. But the Election Commission did not recognize him as the party president and woke up the working committee led by Shrestha this week. 

Gangaram Choudhary, the general secretary of civil liberties elected from the Tikapur session and member of the House of Representatives from Kailali-3, claimed to have sent the minister as per the decision of the Far West Parliamentary Party. The minister was sent according to the decision of the parliamentary party. The minister has already started work after taking the oath, he said. Another general secretary, Thakursingh Tharu, alleged that due to the personal interests of President Ranjita, efforts were being made to bring the minister back to a distant place. "No formal letter has been written to recall the ministers who have taken the oath," he said.

With the reshuffle of the power alliance at the center, civil liberties have become decisive for the formation of the government of the Far West Province. However, Congress and civil immunity alone will not give the government a majority. There are 18 MPs from Congress and 7 from Civil Immunity. 27 MPs are required for the majority to form the government.

 In support of civil emancipation, the Congress is in the stake of getting the majority of the current government, along with RPP and independent MPs. But RPP and one independent MP have not yet given their decision. The support of civil liberties is mandatory for the Maoist-UML coalition to form the government. In the Far West, there are 10 MPs from Maoists, 10 from UML and 4 from United Socialists, apart from the Speaker.
