Chairman of the Tarai Madhes Loktantrik Party (TMLP) Mahanta Thakur said on Sunday that the failure to implement the written agreements has put the government formation process in limbo.

The inter-party rift is widening due to the failure to put in action the May 28 three-point agreement, Thakur said. He also underlined the need to implement the pacts for lasting peace.

The TMLP chairman, who arrived here in Piperia VDC to attend the 13th day death ritual of his slain party cadre Birendra Sah, said that the practice of not implementing the agreements has become a major problem.

While pointing out that nothing has been done on the crucial points of army integration and lasting peace, Thakur maintained that a permanent solution could not be sought unless such problems persist.

Thakur, while noting that Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal stepped down notwithstanding the House majority, said though paths have been cleared to move ahead in unity, the point of consensus is still elusive.

Confusion looms as there is no sign of a new government taking shape even in the wake of the president's mandate.

The TMLP favours consensus government and efforts should be made on the consensus system as the make of the Constituent Assembly beckons so, Thakur said.
