Coordinator of the Madhesi Janadhikar Forum (MJF) Upendra Yadav has pledged support to the would-be government led by the CPN (Maoist).
Yadav said this while addressing a function in Lahan of Siraha district on Wednesday. There has not been any deliberation within the party on whether to join the next government.
The MJF chief also said that his party wants to improve the relationship with the Maoists. The two parties are at odds for quite a long time, and the relations worsened after 27 Maoist cadres were killed in a deadly massacre in Rautahat in March 2007 which, the Maoists claim, was incited by the MJF.
Having received surprisingly positive results in the constituent assembly polls, the MJF has emerged as a major political force in Terai and appears to have gained a bargaining power as the future Maoist government will need strong coalition support. nepalnews.com mk Apr 16 08
