Kathmandu, May 22
Federal Socialist Forum-Nepal Chairman Upendra Yadav has said that his party is open to the option of joining the incumbent government despite the recent unification between CPN-UML and CPN-Maoist Centre.
The party, however, has taken a firm stand on a written agreement for the constitution amendment, according to him.
Before the unification, the dissolved UML had stressed on bringing Rastriya Janata Party Nepal on board along with the Forum. But, the Maoist Center wanted only the Forum to join the government.
A Forum leader stated that they were skeptical about the unification as UML was in hurry to merge the parties despite difficulty in the process. “We now expect the government to discuss the expansion like earlier,” he said.
Earlier, the three political parties–UML, Maoist Centre and Forum–had agreed on the amendment.
Yet again, the Nepal Communist Party Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal on Monday said that the consensus would be forged once the Madhesh-centric parties joined the government.
