NC Ministers Meet President Deuba Amid Cabinet Reshuffle Discussions

Ministers from the Nepali Congress (NC) convened for a joint meeting with party president Sher Bahadur Deuba, adding fuel to the ongoing debate surrounding a potential cabinet reshuffle in Nepal.

The gathering, held at President Deuba’s residence, saw NC ministers engaging in discussions with the party’s leader. According to insider sources, President Deuba received comprehensive updates regarding the performance and status of NC representatives serving in Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’s cabinet.

Amid mounting speculation regarding a cabinet reshuffle under Prime Minister Dahal’s leadership, President Deuba’s stance emerged as a crucial point of contention. Despite the Prime Minister’s inclination towards initiating a reshuffle, President Deuba has expressed strong opposition to making decisions regarding ministers solely based on their performance.

This disagreement between the two prominent figures has led to a deadlock in the potential cabinet reshuffle. Prime Minister Dahal faces mounting pressure to dismiss ministers implicated in corruption and embezzlement scandals. However, any decisive action remains pending until President Deuba provides his approval for the proposed changes.
