The Chief Minister of Gandaki Province Krishnachandra Nepali Pokharel is going to dismiss the Minister for Energy and Irrigation Harisharan Acharya.
According to a source close to Gandaki CM Pokharel, the Chief Minister is sacking Acharya on the charge of supporting the opposition candidate in the forthcoming election in Gorkha.
Acharya had given independent candidacy for the province assembly member from Gorkha 2 (1). Acharya, who became a minister from Dr. Baburam Bhattarai’s party, later withdrew his candidature. His party Nepal Samajwadi Party is part of the ruling coalition. However, Acharya is accused of helping CPN-UML in Gorkha.
CM Pokharel, who has been in Nawalpur, is expected to send the letter of dismissal of minister Acharya to the Gandaki Province Chief once he reaches Pokhara this afternoon.
In the meantime, Minister Acharya denied the allegations and said that he has not been informed about anything so far.
