It’s turn of Ram Chandra Jha to damn UML

KATHMANDU: CPN (UML) influential leader from Madhes Ram Chandra Jha finally defected the party today to join the UCPN (Maoist).  Jha had been accusing the UML of not respecting the indigenous communities’ identity, especially regarding the issue of federalism.

The UML leader is likely to join the UCPN (Maoist) a function to be organized in Dhanusha on Friday.

Jha is one of the few UML leaders from the Madhes region to win the CA elections earlier.
