Federalism: Evolving Maps

The first map I drew for Nepal's federalism had three geographic states. This was in 2005-2006, I believe.

More recently I have proposed six states plus one non geographic state for Dalits.

But today I stand for the single identity state concept because that is what at least two thirds of the people in the country want.

Upendra Yadav: Fourth Pole?
Federalist Alliance, Democratic Alliance, Left Alliance

The Federal Republican Alliance as led by Prachanda, the Federal Alliance is the name I have given to the group spearheaded by Upendra Yadav. I think there is a possibility these two alliances might end up forming an electoral alliance.

These two will emerge the two largest groups in the next assembly, and you might end up seeing Upendra Yadav as the Deputy Prime Minister by virtue of being the leader of the second largest alliance. That is one interesting scenario that could possibly unfold.

The key thing is between the two there will be a comfortable two thirds majority. That will ensure a federal constitution.
