MJF not joining Maoist-led government: Yadav

Chairman of Madhesi Janadhikar Forum (MJF) Upendra Yadav has termed as baseless claims that his party is joining a Maoist-led government, saying that the party does not have the "people's mandate" for it.
This remark by the MJF strongman comes a day after senior Maoist leader Dr. Baburam Bhattarai affirmed at a program in Birgunj on Friday that the CPN (Maoist) is forming a coalition government by joining hands with all Madhesi parties, including the MJF.
"Madhesi Janadhikar Forum does not have the people's mandate to join the government," Yadav told Saturday, "I don't know on what basis Baburam ji (Dr Baburam Bhattarai) made this remark but there has not been any discussion on the possibility of joining the government."
