Natural Allies: 10 Lakh Votes

MJF(D) 2,83,468

MJFN 2,14,319
TMLP 1,81,140
SP 1,40,930

NMSP 79,508
TMSP 65,047

MJF(R) 35,289
Federal Sadbhavana Party 25,215

These eight parties are natural allies and are candidates for becoming one party. Add to that JP Gupta's grouping. That makes it nine. The Tharu parties might be a harder nut to crack. But attempts have to be made. Bijay Gachhedar should take the lead there. If he can not even unify the Tharu parties, what good is he?

Tharuhat Tarai Party Nepal 62,526
Dalit Janajati Party 48,802
Federal Democratic National Front (Tharuhat) 21,519
Tharuhat Tarai Party Nepal 13,811

And then there are the fringe Madhesi parties.

Nepali Janata Dal 33,203
Madhesh Samata Party Nepal 23,001

Formula For Unification

Eastern Terai -  - HT -3

  1. Come up with a new name. Do not use any existing name. Make that name ethnicity and geography neutral. Keep it short. How about Samabeshi Party? Just a thought. 
  2. The party presidency goes to Gachhedar because (a) his party was the top vote earner, and (b) Tharus are the most populous ethnic group in the Terai
  3. Mahantha Thakur gets the Sarbamanya Neta title for being the most senior leader. 
  4. Upendra Yadav, Rajendra Mahto and Sharad Singh Bhandari can be the three Vice Presidents. They also just so happen to represent Yadavs, Vaisyas, and the indigenous Pahadis in the Terai. People like Sharad Singh Bhandari are of Pahadi origin but they have been in the Terai for generations. They know no other home. 
  5. A 11 member Politburo and a 31 member Central Committee would house all top leaders. Leaders of the Terai Madhesh Sadbhavana Party, the Dalit Janajati Party, and the Nepali Janata Dal belong in the Politburo as does Sarita Giri for being the top woman Madhesi leader. 
  6. The vote tally of each party is the sole determinant of what seat they get at the table. 
  7. Hold a national convention before monsoon, perhaps in April and go on to win the local and state elections.
