Central General Secretary of Madhesi Janadhikar Forum-Loktantrik Mrigendra Kumar Singh Yadav has resigned from the party blaming party Chairman Bijay Kumar Gachhadar of ignoring the Madhes movement and instead joining the government.

Yadav organised a press meet at his residence in Rajbiraj and announced his resignation. Yadav was critical of party chairman Gachhadar blaming the latter of putting government and ministerial post first instead of the ongoing Madhesi movement. Yadav dubbed Gachhadar’s decision to join government as suicidal.

Along with Yadav, Saptari party district Chairman Satya Narayan Yadav and around 90 percent of office bearers and party members quit the party. The mass resignation by leaders and cadres has left central committee member Shailendra Chaudhary, district Secretary Bhogendra Chaudhar, Treasurer Bindu Kumari Yadav and few cadres as the only MJF-Loktantrik members in Saptari.
