KATHMANDU, May 1 - The seven-party alliance (SPA) has failed to announce the Cabinet on Monday as well despite the daylong discussion on it, as differences spurred in the meeting of the top SPA leaders.
Earlier, the meeting held at the residence of Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala this morning had decided to form a Cabinet comprising 21 members.

The front had consented to send representatives of all seven parties into the Cabinet. Though the parties went through internal homework to reach a conclusion, the Cabinet didn’t receive its final shape even today.

PM Koirala and UML General Secretary Madhav Kumar Nepal also held separate meeting to discuss the matter today.

Sources said PM Koirala asked Nepal not to make portfolio for the Home since the government had to make immediate decision to create an environment conducive to hold dialogue with Maoist rebels.

Meanwhile, the meeting of the Standing Committee of the UML insisted that the party deserves at least one portfolio from Home and Defence and threatened to remain out of Cabinet if portfolios are not distributed logically.

The parties have, however, expressed commitment with the understanding between the SPA and the Maoists.

The venue for taking the oath of office is another cause for difference.

UML ministers have proposed to swear in the parliament.

The meeting of the top SPA leaders decided to form a 21-member (at the maximum) cabinet with participation from all the seven parties in the alliance.

The meeting left the issue of keeping or not a Deputy Prime Minister up to PM Koirala, it is learnt.

The meeting also decided to recognize NC-D as a political force, sources said.

While PM Koirala and Standing Committee member KP Sharma Oli will be heading the Nepali Congress and the CPN-UML in the SPA government respectively.

नेकपा एमालेले सातदलीय गठबन्धन भित्र मन्त्री परिषदको शपथ ग्रहण स्थलकाबारेमा नीतिगत मतभेद उत्पन्न भएको जनाएको छ।
एमालेका एकजना बरिष्ठ नेता इश्वर पोखरेलका अनुसार मन्त्रीहरूको शपथ ग्रहण सिंहदरबारको सट्टा राजदरबार भित्रै गर्ने कुरा उठेपछि एमालेले त्यसप्रत‌ि आपत्ती प्रकट गरेको छ।

तर नेपाली कांग्रेसले अन्य दलहरूबाट मन्त्रीहरूको नाम प्रधानमन्त्री समक्ष आइनसकेकोले मन्त्री मण्डलको घोषणामा ढिलाई भएको जनाएको छ।

आइतवार प्रधानमन्त्री पदको शपथ ग्रहण गर्नुभएका नेपाली कांग्रेसका सभापति गिरिजाप्रसाद कोइरालाको महाराजगञ्ज स्थित निवासमा सोमवार सातदलका शिर्षस्थ नेताहरूको बैठक बसेको थियो।

सो बैठकमा साँझ सम्ममा सानो मन्त्रीपरिषदको घोषणा गर्न सहमति भएको सहभागी दलका नेताहरूले बताएका थिए।

तर साँझसम्म पनि मन्त्रीपरिषदको घोषणा नभएपछि त्यसबारे जिज्ञासा राख्‍दा नेपाली कांग्रेसका एकजना प्रभावशाली नेताले अन्य दलहरूबाट मन्त्रीहरूको नाम आइनसकेको बताए।

सो जिज्ञासाको जवाफमा नेकपा एमालेको स्थायी समितिका एकजना सदस्य इश्वर पोखरेलले मन्त्रीहरूले दरबारमा गएर शपथ लिनु हुन्न भन्ने आन्दोलनकारी सातदलको प्रतिबद्धता रहेको बताउनुभयो।

मन्त्रालयको बाँडफाँडकाबारेमा ठूला दलहरूबीच सहमति हुन नसकेकोले मन्त्रीपरिषदको गठनमा ढिलाई भएको केही सूत्रहरूको भनाइ छ।

केही अन्य सूत्रहरूले चाहीं दलहरू भित्रै मन्त्रीपरिषदमा क-कस्लाई पठाउने भन्नेबारेमा सहमति हुन नसक्दा यो विलम्ब भएको जनाएका छन्।

तर एमालेका निकटका सूत्रहरूले नीतिगत मुद्दाहरूमा सहमति भएपनि सातदलबीचको प्रतिबद्धतालाई आचरणमा परिणत गर्नेकार्यमा अबरोध आइपरेको संकेत गरेका छन्।

प्रधानमन्त्री कोइरालाले पदको शपथ राजदरबारमा गर्नुभएको भएपनि अरू मन्त्रीहरूको शपथ सिंहदरबारमा गर्नेबारेमा यसअघि निकै चर्चा चलेको थियो।

back to mangalman! COMMON get over it, the longer you these guys take , it only signifies that it was all an act they put up just to get to power, what the hell is wrong with these ppl.

oh god not again.. when will these leaders learn to set their differences aside and work together for a greater cause.

It's like dejavu all over again. Hope the egos will be replaced by common sense soon.

IndisGuise:)

Leaders should swear by heart. Doesnot matter where they swear as long as they follow their promises.

The internal fight for power is in full swing. SPA alliance is about to end. It is just shameful. So many people died and suffered. People delivered what they proposed! It is the leaders who can not deliver their promises! Shame on them!

That's why at Khulla Manch, people shouted "Girija Chor, Desh Chhod"

He didn't appear there at Kulla Manch... saying he was damn ill.

But next day he was having sumudur Bharta on hiw whie dhoti with Yetchury Dhoti.

Kya Baat hai Bhai? Kaun sa Chakkar hain ye?
