RJPN will not join Oli-led government, clarifies Anil Jha

KATHMANDU, Feb 9: Rastriya Janata Party Nepal Presidium Committee Member, Anil Jha on Friday clarified that his party has not thought about joining the government led by CPN-UML Chair KP Oli.

“RJPN will not participate in Oli-led government. We have not held any discussions yet in this regard. Perhaps, no discussion will be held at all about joining Oli,” said Jha at an interaction program at the Reporters’ Club Nepal.

Jha expressed annoyance over UML’s harsh comments regarding constitution amendment proposal, which failed to pass through the parliament due to non-cooperation from UML, and added, “Therefore, we are not participating in the UML-led government.”

“We are eager to see how the new government receives the amendment proposal,” he added.

“RJPN will remain in opposition and do what should be done,” he furthered

Jha also said that RJPN and Federal Socialist Forum Nepal will form a coalition government in Province 2.

He said, “We are holding discussion with FSFN about making a joint government in Province 2. We held talks only two days ago. Another discussions will be held very soon.”
