All Four RSP Ministers to Resign from Dahal-Led Government

In a significant political development, all four ministers from the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) in Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal's government are set to resign today.

The ministers tendering their resignations are RSP Chairman Rabi Lamichhane, who serves as the Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister; Dol Prasad Aryal, Minister of Labor and Employment; Sumana Shrestha, Minister of Education; and Birajbhakta Shrestha, Minister of Youth and Sports.

Acting Spokesperson of the RSP, Manish Jha, confirmed the resignations, stating that all four of our ministers will resign today.

This wave of resignations follows the CPN-UML ministers' collective resignation on Wednesday evening, which has triggered substantial political changes. The UML's decision to form a new alliance with the Nepali Congress, thus ending its partnership with the Maoist Center, has resulted in a shift in the political landscape. Consequently, Prime Minister Dahal's government now finds itself in the minority.
