Madhesh Government Crisis

Chief Minister Krishna Prasad Yadav was reported to be preparing to resign if he could not secure enough support for a confidence vote. The Congress-led government had already been reduced to a minority after CPN-UML and CPN withdrew their support.

The Nepali Communist Party withdrew from the Madhesh provincial government and recalled its four ministers, with Finance Minister Yuvaraj Bhattarai confirming the party was stepping aside to help resolve the deadlock. Chief Minister Krishna Prasad Yadav then faced a vote of confidence within a week.

The Nepali Communist Party decided to withdraw support from the Madhesh government, and its four ministers were set to resign. The decision deepened the minority government crisis facing Chief Minister Krishna Prasad Yadav.

A new alliance of JSP Nepal, CPN-UML and CPN began taking shape in Madhesh Province, with JSP Nepal expected to lead the government. The arrangement was aimed at replacing the Congress-led administration as it lost its majority.

The CPN-UML withdrew support from the Congress-led Madhesh provincial government, recalled its four ministers, and pushed Chief Minister Krishna Prasad Yadav toward a confidence vote within 30 days. The move triggered the coalition crisis in the province.
