He added that such a collaboration is not immediately possible.Yadav expressed his surprise and sadness over the misuse of social media by some individuals to spread false and misleading propaganda, using photos taken in different contexts. He urged the public not to trust such fabricated, misleading, and biased information.The Janmat Party chairman further stated that his party has not yet claimed to form a government, sought support from anyone, or entered into any agreement regarding supporting or not supporting any party. He reiterated that there is no immediate possibility or justification for Janmat Party to join a government with CPN-UML.The denial comes amid reports suggesting that CPN-UML is working to form a new coalition in Madhesh Province. Earlier, CPN-UML ministers had resigned, reportedly to facilitate the formation of a new alliance. Some unconfirmed reports had indicated that CPN-UML, CPN (Maoist Centre), Rastriya Swatantra Party, and Janmat Party were set to form a small four-party cabinet.Sources within Janmat Party had also reportedly suggested an agreement with CPN-UML for 25 seats, with Janmat Party willing to allocate three of its 25 seats for Loktantrik Samajwadi Party (LSP). If CPN-UML were to give up two more seats, LSP would secure five seats.The official confirmation of any agreement between CPN-UML and Janmat Party for government formation remains pending. Further details on the exact nature of the new coalition in Madhesh Province and its potential impact on the provincial government are yet to be announced.
