Nepali Congress withdraws support from Madhesh Province government

DHANUSHA: The Nepali Congress (NC) has officially withdrawn its support from the Madhes Province government.

The decision was communicated by Congress Parliamentary Party leader Krishna Prasad Yadav in a letter addressed to the province chief on Friday.

The letter, announcing the party's decision to withdraw its support, states, "It is hereby notified that the support of the Nepali Congress parliamentary party for the appointment of the Chief Minister of Madhes Province, as per Article 168 of the Constitution, has been withdrawn with effect from today."

This move comes following the formation of a new ruling alliance in the federal government.

Chief Minister Saroj Kumar Yadav had dismissed three Congress ministers on Monday and inducted the CPN (UML) into the government.
