Kathmandu: The oath of office and secrecy ceremony has been obstructed in Koshi Province.

The demand of Jeewan Aacharya, the son-in-law of his Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’, for his share in the ministry resulted in the obstruction.

There was a schedule of administering oaths to newly appointed Chief Minister Uddhav Thapa and other two ministers. But, Acharya’s stubbornness for the post of ministry created conflict in Maoist. This has postponed the oath ceremony to 5:30 pm today.

As per the negotiation, Maoist Centre had decided to appoint Baburam Gautam as a minister after his resignation. But, Acharya’s comment about going against the party decision and demanding the resignation of the minister for himself has worsened the scenario.
