The Communist ministry brought many land marking legislations on land, education and administration and it irked vested interests who, in turn, combined together to oust the ministry through liberation struggle. The liberation struggle was succeeded with the dismissal of the ministry. But in fact the ministry was not dismissed due to the liberation struggle as believed earlier but it was the part of containment of Communism in Asia by the USA.
