CPN (Maoist Centre) coordinator Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda' said on Monday that political parties are holding intense consultations on forming the Madhesh Province government, while speaking to journalists in Bardibas, Mahottari district. Dahal was in the area for a Madhesh Province-level orientation programme under his party's National Awakening Campaign. He said dialogue among the parties was continuing but did not provide further details about the discussions.
Talks on Madhesh government formation
Dahal described the consultations as intense, indicating that discussions among political parties over the provincial government are underway. His remarks offered a brief update on the process, but did not set out the parties' positions or the issues being discussed.
The CPN (Maoist Centre) coordinator did not elaborate on who was participating in the talks, what arrangements were being considered, or when the discussions might produce an outcome. He also did not announce any agreement or provide a timeline for forming the government. The available details from his comments were limited to confirmation that dialogue was ongoing.
Remarks made during party programme visit
Dahal made the comments in Bardibas, in Mahottari district, where he had arrived to attend an orientation programme for Madhesh Province under the Maoist Centre's National Awakening Campaign. His statement to journalists linked the programme visit with a brief comment on the government formation process, but he did not provide a fuller assessment of the political discussions.
For now, the central point in Dahal's remarks is that consultations among political parties continue. He offered no additional information about the next steps, the possible composition of the provincial government, or whether the parties had reached common ground. Any further clarity on the process will depend on what the parties themselves disclose as their discussions proceed.
