Kathmandu, June 7
Rastriya Janata Party has decided not to pull out of the ruling coalition on Province 2.
A meeting of the party’s top leaders in Kathmandu on Thursday decided to stay put even as reports suggested that the RJP was in the mood to quit. Party leaders were under pressure to leave the government after senior partner Forum-Nepal joined the federal government without reaching an agreement with the NCP to amend the constitution to address the demands of the Madhesh movements.
Party leaders have also cautioned the RJP rank and file not to criticise the provincial government. They have said that the RJP will respect the mandate of the Madheshi people and not leave the government.
