Kathmandu, August 25
It’s official now.
The Ram Chandra Poudel camp within the Nepali Congress is sending five of its representatives to the Prachanda-led goverment in which it is a partner.
The five picks from the Poudel camp are: Sita Devi Yadav, Navindra Raj Joshi, Dipak Giri, Romi Gauchan Thakali and Hridaya Ram Thani.
The camp is sending NC treasurer Sita Devi Yadav, Navindra Raj Joshi, Dipak Giri, Romi Gauchan Thakali and Hridaya Ram Thani to the government, according to a source close to Poudel.
On Thursday morning, party President Sher Bahadur Deuba had agreed to give the Poudel camp the five ministries after much haggling.
What ministerial portfolios these leaders will get is still unclear.
Seems haggling is going on over the allocation of portfolios as well.
