UML-Maoist combination urges Forum to join government

Leaders of CPN-UML and CPN-Maoist Center have urged Federal Socialist Forum and Rastriya Janata Party to join the government without holding any preconditions. Speaking at a program organised in Kathmandu, CPN-UML leader Rabindra Adhikari and CPN-MC leader Dilnath Sharma urged the parties to first join the government saying that the constitution would only be amended in a way it is feasible for all. Speaking during the same program, Federal Socialist Forum party secretary general Ram Sahaya Yadav and Rastriya Janata Party leader Manish Suman said that they would not proceed to participate in the government solely based on agreement with a single individual rather, they would do so, only after making formal agreements with both CPN-UML and CPN-MC. Likewise, Nepali Congress Leader Pradip Poudel said the Nepali Congress would always support the government in matters of works done for national prosperity but would also keep a tight watch if things go awry.
