Though Mr. Khanal had said he would immediately start with a small cabinet comprising capable minister he could not announce the new cabinet due to dispute among the CPN(UML) and the Unified CPN(Maoist) over key portfolios including the Home, Finance and Defence. The eight-member taskforce formed yesterday to discuss power sharing could not settle the dispute and ended their discussions inconclusively. With the Nepali Congress deciding to sit in opposition, Khanal's government would have a tough time resolving key issues including the peace process and contentious issues in the new constitution with less than less than four months left to promulgate a new constitution by May 28. Analyst say that the initial problems that Khanal has faced on forming even a small cabinet due to dispute over power sharing indicates challenges that lay ahead for the Khanal-led government in the days ahead.
