The Madhesi Morcha’s decision immediately to sever ties although ruling coalition led by Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal “Prachanda” was evidence yet again of the particular ferment in Nepal’s southern plains continues to impact national politics.The Morcha, an alliance of seven parties, acted on March 15 after the government does not address its demands for amending the Constitution and putting off polls to local bodies within a seven-day deadline. The Morcha’s decision was expected but it raises key questions about its impact on polls to local government bodies scheduled for May 14 and the future course of Nepal’s polity.
The decade-long tumult in Madhes, which accounts for better than 51% of Nepal’s population living in 17% of the country’s territory, has resulted in the loss of around 200 lives.
