KATHMANDU: A source in the prime minister’s office told THT that Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba had given his nod to Cabinet expansion. “Most likely the Cabinet will be expanded within three days,” the source added. Sources close to the NC said the ruling alliance leaders wanted to expand the Cabinet at the earliest. On Friday, the ruling alliance had assured the RJP-N that the Cabinet would not be expanded until the constitution amendment bill was passed. Besides, the government had also expressed commitment to implement a three-point deal with the RJP-N before holding the third phase polls in eight Tarai districts. READ ALSO:
