Coordinator of Madhesi Janadhikar Forum (MJF), Upendra Yadav, has said that parties must forge broad consensus prior to the first sitting of the Constituent Assembly, which is expected to take major decisions including implementation of republic.
Speaking at an interaction in the capital Tuesday, Yadav said the people’s mandate was clearly for political consensus and that major parties should gear up for consensus on the proposed amendment in the interim constitution, formation of new government as well as on the agendas raised by Madhesi parties.
Yadav made it clear that the MJF would support “any party” that is able to take all major political parties into confidence, and that it would consider joining the government if that happened.
“We are ready to support any party – be it CPN-Maoist, Nepali Congress or UML – that can forge national consensus,” said he.
Yadav’s party, which has emerged as the fourth largest party after the CA election, has been demanding amendment in the interim government to introduce the provision of simple majority of the CA to unseat the Prime Minister. The existing constitutional provision requires two-thirds majority to remove the Prime Minister.
