KATHMANDU, July 21: Minister for Water Supply and Sanitation Prem Bahadur Singh has resigned on Wednesday.  

Talking to Republica, Singh, who is the chairman of Samajbadi Janta Party, said that he decided to resign the post after his party decided to withdraw its support to Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli-led government and recall the party's minister.
