Nepal’s RSP withdraws from coalition government of PM Prachanda

The Hindu  

The Rastriya Swatantra Party on Sunday decided to withdraw from Nepal’s ruling coalition after Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal “Prachanda” refused to reinstate the party’s flamboyant chairman Rabi Lamichhane as the Home Minister after he recently re-acquired his citizenship. Mr. Lamichhane was appointed Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister on December 26 last year. During a press conference organised after the joint meeting of RSP’s central committee, Mr. Lamichhane said that in the past, efforts were made to entangle him in several controversies, but he has always managed to steer out of it. The RSP’s decision to withdraw from the coalition government does not alter Prime Minister Prachanda’s political fortunes.
