Nepals caretaker Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli on Friday reshuffled his
Cabinet at a time when his decision to dissolve the House and
declaration to hold polls in coming November is pending in the Supreme
Court for hearing.
Accordingly, President Bidya Devi Bhandari
administered the oath of office and secrecy to the newly-appointed
ministers at the Sheetal Niwas on Friday evening.
Political
parties are questioning his motive to rejing the Cabinet after Oli
inducted three Deputy Prime Ministers and removed some ministers from
his own party, including Foreign Minister Pradeep Gyawali.
Raghubir
Mahaseth from Oli's party, the Communist Party of Nepal (UML), has been
appointed as the Deputy PM and Foreign Minister replacing Gyawali.
Janata
Samajbai Party, a Madhesh-based party that has close political, social,
historical and other ties with India, also joined the Oli government.
Janata Sanajbadi Party (JSP) leader Rajendra Mahato joined the Oli government as Deputy PM and Minister for Urban Development.
Likewise, Finance Minister Bishnu Poudel has been promoted to the Deputy PM's post.
Earlier
on Friday evening, Oli inducted eight ministers and two state ministers
from the Mahanta Thakur-Rajendra Mahato faction of Janata Samajwadi
Party into his Cabinet.
The PM removed all except four ministers
representing the government from his party, retaining only Bishnu Prasad
Poudel, Krishna Gopal Shrestha, Lilanath Shrestha and Basanta Nembang.
All
the newly-appointed ministers took oath of office and secrecy at the
Sheetal Niwas, the President's office, on Friday evening.
