Yadav's statement follows recent call by the government to the agitating Madhes-based parties for talks.
There is no meaning to sit for talks as the government is yet to implement past agreements, he said, speaking in a press conference in Janakpur in Dhanusa on Thursday.
Saying that they took to the streets not pressing for new demands, he pointed out the need for eight-point agreement reached earlier to be implemented.
He, however, said that the ongoing agitation in the Tarai in particular would be stopped once the 22-point and eight-point agreements struck earlier are implemented.
He said that the bottom line of his party is to ensure the agreements reached with Madhes-based parties earlier in the new constitution.
He was of the view that the federal model proposed by the four major parties for 'their personal interests' was against the interim constitution and the spirit of past movements. The country has plunged into a conflict due to the 16-point agreement reached only among four major parties, ignoring the Constituent Assembly.
