Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) has withdrawn its support to the Pushpa Kamal Dahal-led government.
A joint meeting of the party's central committee and the parliamentary party decided to withdraw its support to the government and stay in opposition.
At a news conference organized after the meeting, RSP Chairperson Rabi Lamichhane said, "We have to value people's sentiment and mandate. The recently-held by-election has given us a mandate to stay in opposition. Now we will move ahead accordingly."
The RSP would play the role of constructive opposition in the coming days rather than forming and breaking the alliance, he opined. Saying provincial structure is becoming a place to manage leaders and cadres, Chairman Lamichhane pointed out the need of discussing the relevance of province structure.
He extended gratitude to the incumbent government for taking action against those involved in fake Bhutanese refugees scam and also urged to remain tough against those involved in corruption cases. -----
