The Janata Samajbadi Party led by Ashok Rai is to support the new alliance forged following an agreement between Nepali Congress and the CPN (UML).

General Secretary of the party, Mohammad Ishtiyaq Rai shared that the ministers who participated in the current government will resign today and support the new alliance. "Since the current government has lost its majority, the party has decided to move forward according to the new situation by asking the ministers who participated in the government to resign," he said.

The decision will be taken by a meeting of the party's office-bearers to be held today or tomorrow morning. The meeting will review the political developments and decide to support the new government, added Rai.

The party has two ministers and one minister of State in the present government.

Pramod Yadav is the Minister for Health and Population, Nawal Kishor Sah Sudi (Minister for Forest and Environment) while Hasina Khan is the Minister of State for Health.
