By Our Reporter Ending speculations of months, Sanghiya Samajwadi Party Nepal led jointly by Upendra Yadav and Dr. Baburam Bhattarai has quit the government citing that Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli rejected its proposal to amend the Constitution. Yadav resigned from the post of Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs on Tuesday. The party had joined the government in June 2018 signing a two-point agreement with the then CPN-UML and Maoist Centre, which were not unified then. Even Yadav’s party was not unified with Dr. Bhattarai’s Naya Shakti Party Nepal. Yadav, chairman of Sanghiya Samajwadi Forum Nepal, had joined the present government as Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Health and Population. Another member of his party Mohammed Ishtiyaq Rai had also been inducted as Minister for Urban Development and Dr. Surendra Kumar Yadav was appointed as State Minister for Health. However, after being an odd partner of the present government for 18 months, Yadav and his party severed relationship with the government. Minister for Urban Development Mohammad Ishtiyak Rai also quit on Tuesday, while Dr. Yadav was removed from the job during the reshuffling of the Cabinet last month. With the Sanghiya Samajwadi Forum Nepal quitting the ruling coalition, the government had lost its strength of a two-thirds majority in the parliament. Earlier, Yadav had been removed from his Health and Population portfolio and was made Minister for Justice and Parliamentary Affairs in the reshuffling of the Cabinet last month. He had unwillingly taken the responsibility of the Law Ministry and many had expected his resignation then. In his resignation letter addressed to the Prime Minister, Yadav said that he resigned on the moral ground that the two-point agreement reached between his party and the then CPN-UML and Maoist Centre on May 28, 2018 to address his party’s demands, including the amendment to the Constitution, raised by his party, was unliterary violated by the government. It was said that PM Oli had scolded him for submitting a proposal seeking formation of a committee to amend the constitution, which Oli said was against the constitution and practice. He then resigned. However, Yadav was unhappy with PM Oli after he was removed as Health and Population Minister. But as a politician with giving utmost importance to post he did not dare to resign then. But when circumstances went against him, he had no option but to put in paper. Dr. Baburam Bhattarai, co-chair of Yadav’s party, had also been exerting pressure on Yadav to quit the government. Moreover, the recent agreement reached between the ruling Nepal Communist Party and the Rastriya Janata Party-Nepal to support each other during the upcoming National Assembly elections had also irked Yadav. Now it will be no wonder if the RJP-N joins the government its leader Rajendra Mahato takes the portfolio that Yadav’s party was enjoying till Tuesday.
