Kathmandu, December 23
Bagmati Chief Minister Rajendra Pandey has resigned from his position following public criticisms against him for sticking to the position even after winning a seat in the federal House of Representatives.
Pandey was elected a federal lawmaker from Dhading 1 in the November 20 elections. However, he had not resigned from the provincial government.
On Thursday, Pandey also took the oath of office and secrecy as the federal lawmaker, without resigning, allowing commentators to raise a moral question.
One day after the oath, he submitted his resignation to Governor (Province Chief) Yadav Chandra Sharma.
Nonetheless, Pandey will continue working as the leader of the caretaker government until the Provincial Assembly forms a new one.
He was appointed to the position on October 28, 2021.
