Kathmandu 10th June: Mahanta thakur, leader of Terai Madhesh Democratic party, has remarked that the 30 party alliance led by Maoists is no longer valid after they were betrayed as 4 major parties brewed consensus despite the disapproval of Madhesh based parties. Mahanta Thakur who is generally seen keeping himself aside media spotlight, finally spoke to Kantipur that they were ready to hit the streets if the constitutional cauldron hasn't got the recipe suited for Madhesi taste.
Thakur also accused the nation for being unfair to Terai since forever and suggested protest until Madhesis have what they "need". Thakur made it clear that they needed a separate state accumulating all of Terai and are not looking to include any hills in the state.
Madhesh-based parties were criticized for protesting hastily even before the mapping and naming was done; to which Thakur replied firmly "Morning shows the day", clearly suggesting dissatisfaction on the decision made by the major parties. The 30-party alliance broke when Maoist led by Pushpa Kamal Dahal(Prachanda) , and Bijay kumar gachhedar's Forum loktantrik agreed on the 8-state proposal put forward in the meeting yesterday.
While supporting Thakur's views, Madhesi parties and Madhesis often bring up the Janakpur-Bhittamod road that has been decorated as a dirt-bike track since a decade with no work being done while even the smallest of towns between the Chure and Mahabharat hills are accessible without a bumpy ride.
The political lighthouse shows a series of protests could follow the wounds created by the 25th april disaster. Everyone has their own demands, own ideologies, own methods while Nepalese look onto someone with the proper antibiotics!
