An alliance of Madhes-based political parties on Wednesday withdrew its support to Prime Minister Prachanda-led Nepal Government after it failed to meet a seven-day ultimatum to fulfil their demands that included endorsement for the revised Constitution amendment Bill.
The Government, however, continues to enjoy a majority as it has the support of more than 320 members in the 601-member Constituent Assembly.
Meanwhile, in a meeting with UDMF leaders, Prachanda urged them to participate in the upcoming local polls after amending the Constitution, setting aside the issue of state delineation for the time being.
He said the Government would form a commission to finalise the issues relating to provincial demarcation before holding the provincial elections.
The United Democratic Madhesi Front (UDMF), which has 39 lawmakers, withdrew support to the government as it failed to address its concern within the seven-day ultimatum that expired on Tuesday.
