UCPN (Maoist) Chair Pushpa Kamal Dahal has said the government would be changed soon after the general convention of Nepali Congress. He, however, did not divulge who would lead the next Cabinet.

“The government failed to meet public expectations. I have warned ministers representing the [Maoist] party to work effectively or face consequences,” a Maoist activist attending the training quoted Dahal as saying. The party organised a “secret training” in Bhakundebeshi.

The chief of a major coalition partner expressed his dissatisfaction over the performance of the government led by CPN-UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli. He also claimed that there was no significant achievement of Oli’s India visit. In another context, Dahal said there would be an alliance with the UML in the upcoming election.
