With court reprieve to Gautam, equation in ruling party may change

As the Supreme Court clears decks for Bamdev Gautam to become minister, a change of camp by him to Oli may throw the Dahal camp into minority in the Secretariat.

With the Supreme Court refusing to issue an interim order, decks have been cleared for Nepal Communist Party vice-chair Bamdev Gautam, who was nominated a member of the National Assembly on September 17, to assume any constitutional position and also to become a minister.
