KATHMANDU, July 25: The four Madhesi parties have sought written commitment on their demands from Nepali Congress in lieu of supporting the latter’s candidate for prime minister in the election on August 2.
The informal front of Madhesi People’s Rights Forum (MPRF), MPRF (Democratic), Tarai-Madhes Democratic Party (TMDP) and Sadbhawana Party asked the NC to give a written commitment on the Madhesi agenda during a meeting at the parliamentary party office of TMDP in Singha Durbar on Sunday.
NC spokesperson Arjun Narsingh KC told mediapersons after the meeting that the party has not made up its decision on the demands by the four parties but dubbed the talks “positive”.
The parties suggested the NC to secure support of the CPN-UML as the latter’s support is essential for the NC to lead the government.
Tow rounds of election in the parliament failed to choose the prime minister. NC’s Ram Chandra Poudel and UCPN (Maoist) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal are in the fray.
