Kathmandu, June 6
Two major Madhesh-centric forces–the Rastriya Janata Party Nepal and the Federal Socialist Forum-Nepal–on Tuesday signed separate agreements with the Nepali Congress and the CPN-Maoist Cetre.
Points of the agreements, however, are same.
The three points of the agreement include implementing a three-point agreement signed among them before election of Pushpa Kamal Dahal to the PM’s post in August last year, increasing the number of local levels in Terai region and lawmakers of the RJPN and the FSF-N voting for Deuba in the PM’s election.
The RJPN and the FSF-N have 24 and 15 lawmakers in Parliament respectively.
