He added that the meeting also decided to form the provincial government in consensus among the coalition partners at the center.
After the RPP quit the government in Bagmati Province, Chief Minister Jamarkattel now has to take the vote of confidence as per the provisions in the constitution. A Province assembly meeting was called to discuss this issue on Wednesday. But the provincial assembly members of the Nepali Congress are in Kathmandu and were not able to attend the meeting in Hetaunda.
There is a possibility that the provincial assembly meeting will be postponed. However, the Parliament Secretariat has not adjourned the meeting yet.
