Assessing the performance of the interim government on the completion of 100 days in office, Maoist ministers have conceded that the government failed to work as per the people’s aspirations.

“This period marked a period of experimenting and testing. People had high expectations from us, but we could not match them,” said Krishna Bahadur Mahara, Minister for Information and Communication and government spokesperson, addressing a press meet by Maoist ministers on Wednesday
afternoon.

Another Maoist Minister Dev Gurung, who holds the portfolio of Ministry of Local Development, went on to blame Nepali Congress (NC) for the failure of the interim government.

“Although the interim constitution clearly stipulates that decisions have to be taken based on political consent, NC works as if this is a one-party government,” Gurung said.

The Maoist ministers, however, touted the announcement of CA elections date as their achievement.

At the press meet Maoist ministers also briefed about achievements made by the Ministries they lead.

There are five Maoist ministers in the interim cabinet including Mahara, Gurung, Hisila Yami (Minister for Works and Physical Planning), Matrika Yadav (Minister for Forest and Soil Conservation) and Khadga Bahadur Biswakarma (Minister for Women, Children and Social Welfare).
