MJF still undecided over new govt

The key player in formation of new government Madhesi Janadhikar Forum has failed to give its final decision on Wednesday regarding its support in the new coalition.


The parliamentary party meeting held Wednesday evening could not reach a conclusion. Though most lawmakers demanded ‘voting’ to decide party’s position, president Upendra Yadav and vice president Jay Prakash Prasad Gupta, who have been opposing support to UML-led government, purposely postponed the meeting until Friday.


The party has called its central committee meeting for Thursday where establishment faction has majority support.


Few lawmakers also suggested the party leadership to support the UML-led coalition to be formed under the leadership of Madhav Kumar Nepal without joining the new government.
