Sanghiya Gathabandhan has removed Upendra Yadav as its coordinator for taking part in local bodies election.

A meeting of Rastriya Janata Party, Nepal in Bijulibazaar decided to sack Yadav for his decision to take part in local bodies election without amending constitution. The meeting appointed Mahantha Thakur as its new coordinator.

A statement released by newly-appointed coordinator Thakur said Yadav was removed from the post because he surrendered the issues of Madhesi-Tharu, Janjati, Dalit and other backward communities and betrayed the people by taking part in election without the amendment of constitution.

The meeting also warned of hitting the streets if the constitution was not amended as per their demands.
