Recently, taking a big step, he removed Labor, Employment and Social Security Minister Deepak Kumar Sah from the post. This decision was taken on the basis of allegations of indiscipline.

The report found that the minister misused his position.

Investigation revealed that Deepak Kumar Sah retained his wife Junu Shrestha in the Health Insurance Board, even though that post was inactive for a long time.
