DHANGADHI:The CPN (UML) has officially withdrawn its support from the Sudurpaschim provincial government, stripping it of its majority.

The decision came immediately after Chief Minister Kamal Bahadur Shah dismissed four UML ministers from his cabinet due to a deadlock over the upcoming fiscal budget.

UML parliamentary party leader Rajendra Singh Rawal accused the Chief Minister of acting unilaterally and concentrating budget allocations heavily within his own constituency.
