Gajurel resigns over serious differences

Kathmandu: Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal’s political advisor and a close confidante during the decade-long insurgency and after, Haribol Gaurel, has resigned in the wake of “some serious differences” with the head of the government. Gajurel said he put in papers a week ago after the PM turned down his suggestions on politics and governance. 

The Cabinet is yet to endorse his resignation, though. 

Multiple sources informed that Gajurel resigned after PM Dahal did not heed his suggestions on issues related to governance and politics. A source said Gajurel resigned as holding on to the job was likely to give rise to more disputes with PM Dahal.
