Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba has reshuffled his Cabinet, leaving out Maoist Centre ministers and assigning Energy Ministry portfolio to RPP leader Kamal Thapa.
According to a Baluwatar source, the Prime Minister has retained the Home and the Foreign Affairs portfolio. The development comes a few hours after the Maoist Centre, which has entered into an electoral alliance with the main opposition, UML decided to pull out of government, but later put the decision on hold.
