KATHMANDU: Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has urged Janata Samajbadi Party (JSP) Chairman Mahantha Thakur to join the government, saying he is in the process of forming a national consensus government.
CPN-UML Standing Committee member Subash Nembang, talking to the press, said the PM proposed forming a national government to JSP leaders at a meeting held at the PM’s residence Monday morning.
He added JSP Chairman Thakur was positive about the proposal, however, he sought few days to accept the proposal officially.
