Province governments are being formed in an unconstitutional way: Congress

The Nepali Congress has said that the governments in Lumbini and Sudurpaschim Provinces were formed in an unconstitutional way.

The Congress said that the Constitution has not given the right to the province chief to take decisions for any political party.

“Governments are currently being formed in the provinces in an unconstitutional way. The process of forming the government in Gandaki and Sudurpaschim Provinces was unconstitutional. The Congress has strong objections to the governments being formed in an constitutional way,” Congress spokesperson Prakash Sharan Mahat said.

He said that the province government has even violated the order of the Supreme Court.

In the case of the Gandaki Province government, the Supreme Court had issued an interim order not to take a decision that would have long-term effects.

The Gandaki government has been splitting the ministry and making important appointments against the same, the NC said.

“The coalition has even breached the order of the Supreme Court. Appointments are also being made in an illegal way,” leader Mahat said.

Defying the Supreme Court’s order, the province government’s decision was against the interim order, he viewed.

Similarly, Mahat said that the CPN-UML-CPN (Maoist Center) took a wrong step in the Koshi Province also.

He said that the UML-Maoist Center alliance was unnatural. The Congress leader further said that the unnatural coalition will collapse soon.
