Mahesh Prasad Yadav and Basant Kushwaha have tendered their resignations from the Madhesh Province government, where they served as ministers from the Janmat party. Following directives from Chief Minister Krishna Prasad Yadav, Finance Minister Mahesh Prasad Yadav and Minister of Social Welfare and Sports Basant Kushwaha stepped down. Despite Janmat withdrawing support from the ruling coalition on Baishakh 21, these two ministers had remained in office until now.
With the Nepali Congress (UML) preparing to come into power in Madhesh and the government poised to exclude JSP Nepal, the Chief Minister instructed ministers from the Janmat and JSP Nepal parties to resign. On Jestha 7, in Janakpur Dham, the two Janmat ministers formally submitted their resignations as part of this political realignment.
Although Janmat had pulled out their support on Baishakh 21, both ministers stayed in the cabinet until recently. As plans to bring UML into the ruling coalition and remove JSP Nepal from the government moved forward, Chief Minister Yadav directed the ministers from both JSP Nepal and Janmat to resign. However, JSP Nepal’s ministers have not yet submitted their resignations.
