Rastriya Janata Party Nepal (RJPN) has decided to continue its support to the government of Province 2.

A meeting of RJPN Presidium held on Thursday has directed the party leaders to not make unnecessary remarks against the government of Province 2.

The meeting has decided to support and help the Lal Babu Raut-led government of Province 2, read a statement issued by the RJPN Presidium Coordinator Mahantha Thakur.  

“The RJPN has decided not to withdraw its support to the government extended amid various ups and downs and to move ahead by participating in the government keeping in mind the spirit of Madhes agitation, desire of Madhesi people and people’s mandate,” the statement further read.
