One more Madhesi lawmaker quits

KATHMANDU - The trend of Madhesi lawmakers giving up their posts has still not stopped.
Yet another lawmaker resigned from the interim parliament on Sunday expressing dissatisfaction over the government’s attitude towards the Terai region.
Rastriya Janashakti Party (RJP) lawmaker Renu Yadav tendered her resignation today stating the parliament had failed to address the problems of Terai. Yadav, who also quit RJP membership, said that she will now be active for the Madhesi movement. Speaker Subash Nemwang said Yadav did not consider keeping her designation despite his efforts to convince her. Former Minister for Science and Technology and NC leader Mahanta Thakur and three other parliamentarians representing constituencies in Terai had first resigned on December 10 followed by other leaders quitting different parties to form the Terai Madhes Democratic Party.
