Lekhah on Friday met Education Minister Chitra Lekha Yadav and declined to accept his nomination to the post. He informed the minister in writing.  

In a letter submitted to the minister, Lekhak said the decision was ‘made without prior necessary discussions’ and he can’t take up the post because of his other engagements.  

On July 10, Ministry Yadav had nominated Ramesh Lekhak as the chairman and UML Leader Pradeep Nepal and UCPN (Maoist) leader Dinanath Sharma as the members of Sajha Prakashan Limited’s management committee.
