Govinda Bohara, a provincial committee member of the ruling Nepal Communist Party and former ward chair of Parashuram Municipality-8 in Dadeldhura, announced his resignation from the party on Monday in Dhangadhi. In a statement posted on Facebook, Bohara said he was dissatisfied with the Sudurpaschim Province government’s budget for fiscal year 2083/84 and accused Chief Minister Khagaraj Bhatta of encouraging commission-taking practices.
Bohara cites budget dissatisfaction
Bohara’s announcement links his decision to leave the party to the province government’s latest budget. He did not simply state that he was quitting: he also raised concerns about the way the government was operating, accusing Chief Minister Bhatta of encouraging commission-taking. The allegation is Bohara’s, as presented in his resignation announcement.
The information available about his statement does not specify which budget allocations or provisions prompted his dissatisfaction. It also does not describe the alleged commission-taking practices in detail. The announcement therefore sets out Bohara’s stated reasons for leaving, but does not provide further particulars about either his objections to the budget or the conduct he attributed to the chief minister.
A party figure from Dadeldhura
Bohara was a member of the Nepal Communist Party’s provincial committee and previously served as ward chair of Parashuram Municipality-8 in Dadeldhura. His resignation marks a departure from the ruling party by a figure with experience in both party organization and local government. He made the announcement from Dhangadhi, the location identified in reports of his decision.
The central issue in Bohara’s announcement is the connection he drew between the province’s budget and his criticism of the chief minister. He cited dissatisfaction with the fiscal year 2083/84 budget while accusing Bhatta of encouraging commission-taking. The available details do not indicate whether Bohara had previously raised these concerns within the party or whether he had discussed them with government officials.
No further details provided
The reported announcement does not include a response from Chief Minister Bhatta or additional information from the provincial government about Bohara’s allegation. It also does not specify whether Bohara intends to join another party or pursue any other political role after resigning. His announcement, as reported, is focused on his departure from the Nepal Communist Party and the reasons he gave for it.
Bohara’s move places attention on his stated objections to the Sudurpaschim budget and his criticism of the chief minister. Beyond those points, the details available do not establish the scope of the dispute, identify specific budget measures at issue or provide an independent account of the alleged commission-taking. His Facebook announcement remains the basis of the reported explanation for his resignation.
