Kathmandu, 15 October: NCP co-chairman Pushpakamal Dahal Prachanda and senior leader Madhav Nepal have expressed dissatisfaction against Prime Minister Oli on the reshuffle of the cabinet.

DPM Ishhwor Pokhrel is ousted from the defence ministry, has now been assigned to look after the Prime Minister’s Office.
Pokhrel has been demoted, whereas, NCP’s general secretary Bishnu Poudel has been rewarded with the finance portfolio, known to be the key ministry.
Prachanda and Nepal have expressed dissatisfaction on the present reshuffle. Nepal has remarked that PM Oli, violating the party decision, one-sidedly nominated his own men in the ministry.
Prachanda, although, had given consent on Poudel’s name as the finance minister, has expressed dissatisfaction on the other two names.
Meanwhile, Suvash Chandra Nembang, deputy leader of the Parliamentarian Party of the NCP, who is closed to Oli, said that the cabinet will have major changes after the Tihar festival.
