Gachchhadar not to settle for anything less than DPM

Madhesi Janadhikar Forum (MJF) parliamentary leader Bijaya Kumar Gachchhadar has said he must get the post of deputy prime minister with home ministry in the UML-led new cabinet.

Gachchhadar repeated his claim over the senior cabinet post during a meeting with Nepali Congress president Girija Prasad Koirala Thursday morning.

Gachchhadar met Koirala amid reports that the NC president had advised Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal not to appoint anybody as DPM. Sources said the MJF leader threatened to withdraw support to the government he were not made DPM.

Gachchhadar has been at loggerhead with the party establishment after insisting that the MJF should join the government under his leadership.

In a bid to avert a possible split, MJF central committee recently decided to send both Gachchhadar and party chairman Yadav to the government. nepalnews.com June 04 09
