Madhav sworn in as Nepal PM


Veteran Communist leader Madhav Kumar Nepal was on Monday sworn in as the Prime Minister of Nepal, ending the week-long political crisis and easing the Maoists out of power after a short stint.

Fifty-six-year-old Nepal, who was elected unopposed as the Prime Minister on Saturday by the Constituent Assembly, was sworn-in by President Ram Baran Yadav at 11 am.

A mini-cabinet of four-five ministers are expected to sworn-in later in the day.
