CK Raut-led Janamat Party likely to join govt today



KATHMANDU: The CK Raut-led Janamat Party is set to join the Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal “Prachanda”-led government today.

Sources close to the Prime Minister indicated that the party’s inclusion in the government is imminent.

Reports suggest that the party has already submitted a name (Anita Devi Sah) for a ministerial position, although the specific ministry has yet to be finalized.

Previously, the Janamat Party had been a participant in the Dahal-led government before opting to exit at a later point.

Abdul Khan of the Janamat Party had previously served as the Minister of Drinking Water during that time.

Meanwhile, Janamat Party has started calling for people’s mandate for its people’s representatives at local levels.

The party has urged its members who are in the voters’ list at local level to vote with party’s ID card for evaluating their representatives.

This initiative of Janamat party has been taken as an internal practice of ‘Right to recall’.

Spokesperson of the party, Dr Sharad Singh Yadav, said a process to vote in the party has been adopted to evaluate the issues including how much works were done after the election of party leaders at local levels, whether the citizens are satisfied with their works and their behaviour.
