Chief Minister of Lumbini Province, Dilli Bahadur Chaudhari, has announced resignation while addressing the Province Assembly on Thursday. During his address, CM Chaudhari admitted that the province government failed to ensure effective and smooth administration. "We could not make governance effective. Sycophancy does not make governance result-oriented," he said, blaming that development budget could not be spent because of employees' noncooperation. Power is temporary, so all sides' unity is essential for protecting and promoting federalism, he reminded. The CM tendered resignation from the post as after effects of change in ruling coalition in the federal government. Preparation is on among the new coalition partners to make new Chief Minister to the parliamentary party leader of CPN Maoist Centre, Jokh Bahadur Mahara. For anyone to be elected Chief Minister, he/she requires 44 votes in the 87-member Lumbini Province Assembly. The UML has 29 members, CPN Maoist Centre 10 excluding Speaker, Janata Sam ajbadi Party three, Unified Socialist one and an independent one. They have agreed for Mahara as new CM.
