Dispute with opposition
Kul Prasad KC was proposed as the second Chief-minister of Lumbini Province after Shankar Pokhrel had resigned from the post by the support of NC, PSP-N and Rastriya Janamorcha as a part of National level opposition alliance with majority signatures. Still the proposal was unanimously disapproved by Governor of the province and showed an unlawful manner by appointing Pokharel in minority using CPN(UML) letter pad.[6] Pokharel took oath by calling governor to his official residence than going to governer's which is was against the practice till date. On 5 July 2021, one sitting state minister from Shankar Pokharel cabinet resigned to bring back majority in opposition side led my main opposition party Nepali Congress.[7] KC has previously worked as Minister for Internal Affairs and Law in Shankar Pokharel Cabinet while resigned on 6 Baishakh 2078 when he was already proposed as the next Chief minister.
On 15 July 2021, Pokharel and other sitting ministers left the house meeting when they had no chance of getting the budget bill passed.[8] This was claimed a very un-democratic by opposition and they again claimed Pokharel should give a resignation than disturbing the assembly with minority.[9] They are demanding the incumbent Chief-minister to take vote of confidence to check if he's in majority else resign from post.[10]
