Rastriya Janamorcha decides to pull out of coalition

Rasriya Janamorcha has decided to pull out of the five-party alliance.

Expressing dissatisfaction over the endorsement of the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), the Janamorcha concluded that it will have no meaning to stay in the coalition now.

Durga Paudel, who is the only lawmaker of the Janamorcha, stood against the $500 million grant agreement during the voting on the MCC held yesterday.

CPN (Maoist Centre), Nepali Congress, CPN (Unified Socialist) and Janata Samajbadi Party and Janamorcha had moved the court after the then Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli dissolved the House for the second time.

Janamorcha joined the alliance with an objective to institutionalise the democracy and change after the Supreme Court issued a mandamus order to appoint Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba as the Prime Minister of the country.

The party, however, had decided not to be a part of the government. Instead, the party decided to support the government from outside.
