KATHMANDU: Chairman of Samajbadi Party Nepal Upendra Yadav has spewed his grudges on the government saying that its arrogance of two-thirds majority has been over now.
“With the Samajbadi Party Nepal walking away and withdrawing its support to the government, the egotism of two-thirds majority has been done,” Yadav, who on Tuesday resigned from the post of Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Law citing discontentment over the K P Oli-led government.
Speaking at a press conference in the capital on Wednesday, Yadav formally announced his party’s withdrawal from the government.
“We do not support the government anymore,” he said while hinting at playing the role of strong opposition in the House of Representatives.
The government no longer has a two-thirds majority, he said alleging the government of failing in all aspects.
Yadav, however, said his party would continue to raise the issue of the constitution amendment from the parliament.
Earlier, a crucial meeting of the party’s central committee held at Balkumari in Lalitpur today morning had decided to withdraw its support to the Prime Minister Oli-led government.
“We had joined the government with the assurance of constitution amendment and addressing the grievances of the people of Madhes and other disgruntled communities,” Ganga Shrestha, organizational department chief told Khabarhub.
