Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal has said that it will take another couple of days to expand the Cabinet as Nepali Congress leaders are busy in the General Convention of their sister organisation Nepal Student Union.

“I will move ahead once I get recommendation from the Congress,” Dahal said during an interaction organised by Reporter’s Club at Baluwatar on Wednesday.

“We do not have problem in picking ministers from CPN (Maoist Centre).”

The PM pledged to strengthen the national unity along with the enforcement of the new constitution and make sincere efforts to address the Madhes issues through a consensus.

Underlining the need of holding local, provincial and federal elections on time to safeguard the country’s achievements, PM Dahal hoped for support and cooperation from all sides.

Expressing his concern over the delay in carrying out the post-quake reconstruction works, the PM said he had already directed the government secretaries to provide the relief assistance to the earthquake survivors within the next 45 days.

He expressed hope that the government would get a full shape soon and new projects of economic development would be implemented.

He also vowed to control black market and inflation, while giving assurance to implement minimums wages recommended for the working journalists.
