Setopati

Kathmandu, Nov 20

The Cabinet reshuffle scheduled for Wednesday has not happened after the secretariat meeting of ruling CPN held at Baluwatar in the afternoon failed to decide on the issue.

PM's Press Advisor Surya Thapa confirmed that the issue of Cabinet reshuffle has not been concluded Wednesday. Personal secretary to CPN Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal, Ganga Dahal, said Cabinet reshuffle will now happen only on Thursday.

Prime Minister (PM) KP Sharma Oli had told his ministers that he will reshuffle Cabinet on Wednesday during the Cabinet meeting at his residence in Baluwatar Tuesday evening but did not reveal the name of ministers who will be sacked and the new ones to be inducted.

PM Oli also instructed the ministers to not schedule any formal program for Wednesday saying new ministers will be sworn in Wednesday itself.

Sources at the President's Office also said they have received no instruction to prepare for swearing in of new ministers.
