Kathmandu, November 13
Sudurpashchim Chief Minister Trilochan Bhatta has removed his Social Development Minister Dirgha Sodari after the ruling Nepal Communist Party’s directive.
NCP’s Sudurpashchim in-charge Bhim Rawal had directed the Chief Minister to sack Sodari, citing the Minister failed to keep his conducts maintaining the dignity of his position.
The party’s Provincial Committee Chairman Karna Bahadur Thapa says Sodari was removed after he did not follow the party directives for improvement time and again.
During the Tihar vacation recently, he had lent his vehicle to someone else, and it had hit pedestrians in Kailali.
Sodari is considered close to Ghanashyam Bhusal and Yogesh Bhattarai in the party’s internal politics.
He is the second to get sacked from provincial councils of ministers. Around two weeks ago, Province 3 Chief Minister Dor Mani Poudel had removed Keshav Sthapit from his Council of Ministers.
