Coordinator of Madhesi Janadhikar Forum (MJF) Upendra Yadav has said that the CPN (Maoist), as the largest party in the Constituent Assembly, has the right to form new government under its leadership.

"The Maoists have the right to head the government, but they should take other parties, which have got people's mandate, into confidence," Yadav said speaking at the Reporters Club on Monday.
Emphasising that there should be a consensus government as the Maoists didn't get majority in the election, the MJF chief also urged the Maoists to act democratically in order to get support in forming the government.
Yadav, whose party has become the forth largest party after the CA polls, also suggested Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala to step down and pave the way for a new coalition government. Clinging onto the PM's post, Yadav said, would be moral decadence on the part of Prime Minister Koirala.
The MJF chief also made it clear that his party would not compromise on its demand for 'autonomous Terai province', and that the party's support to would-be main ruling party, in forming new government, would depend on how much support this agenda gets. nepalnews.com mk Apr 28 08
