By Our Reporter Preparations made by the ruling CPN (Unified Socialist) to call back its four ministers and induct four new faces into the Cabinet were averted for now after the sitting ministers objected to the party decision. When Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba denied changing the ministers, the hope of new recommended faces to become ministers was dashed. According to the development of Sunday, Prime Minister Deuba had prepared to induct the new faces on Monday. But when the ministers of CPN (Unified Socialist) met with the PM as well as Maoist Centre boss Pushpa Kamal Dahal, the plan was abandoned. It is said that when Ministers Prem Ale, Krishna Kumar Shrestha, Birod Khatiwada and Ram Kumari Jhakri objected to the party's decision to replace them with new faces, they visited Baluwatar and Khumaltar and convinced PM Deuba and Maoist boss Dahal that they should not be removed. Later, a meeting of PM Deuba, Dahal and Madhav Kumar Nepal decided to withhold the plan stating that removal of ministers when the House was discussing budget would not send a positive message. However, not only the lobbying of the sitting ministers, but other factors also contributed to the postponement of the Cabinet reshuffle. If the ministers of the CPN (Unified Socialist) were removed, Dahal and Deuba would face pressure from within their parties to replace the ministers. Moreover, JSP-N had prepared a list of new ministers after Nepal submitted the list of new ministers to the PM. Now the cabinet will not be reshuffled until the budget gets approved. Probably, the present Council of Ministers will be in place till the date of the general election is announced. Will the present alliance continue? Questions are being raised on the fate of the present ruling coalition immediately after the conclusion of the local polls. After the CPN (Unified Socialist) openly said that they were deceived in the local polls. Similar were the views of JSP-N, another coalition partner. More suspicious it became after JSP-N chairman Upendra Yadav met with the UML chairman after the end of the local polls. Dr Baburam Bhattarai of the same party said that the alliance was useless. Moreover, the slogan of the greater left alliance has been floated by the leaders of almost all communist parties. There were again rumours that UML chair KP Sharma Oli had offered the post of prime minister to Madhav Kumar Nepal and Pushpa Kamal Dahal. Amidst such rumours, giving continuity to the ruling alliance looks challenging. But when Oli has not been prepared for left unity and when Dahal and Nepal, who were deceived by Oli are not ready to accept Oli’s leadership and when Oli is not ready to take Nepal and Dahal as his leaders, the border-left alliance looks impossible at present. And again, Nepal and Dahal will not be ready to form a new government under UML, as such, forming a new government by pulling down the present one, and ending present coalition looks almost impossible at the moment. Although Oli seems to have a single goal of ending the present coalition, Dahal and Nepal are adamant to foil his attempt and teach a lesson in the upcoming general elections.
