Medical college Fee, Home Minister Ram Bahadur Thapa
The meeting was attended by Home Minister Ram Bahadur Thapa, Education Minister Giriraj Mani Pokharel, Attorney General Agni Kharel, and Nepal Police chief Sarbendra Khanal. The deadline to return the additional fees is expiring tomorrow.
Provincial lawmakers and local government officials in the Bagmati province who are close to the Madhav Kumar Nepal-led faction of the ruling CPN-UML are highly likely to vote against the party's official candidate Ram Bahadur Thapa in the National Assembly by-election to be held on May 20.
The National Assembly Secretariat says Ram Bahadur Thapa, who was elected to the assembly representing the CPN-Maoist Centre in 2017, has lost his membership as the party that he represented removed him.
