Renu Kumari Yadav (Nepali: रेणु कुमारी यादव) (born 16 January 1959) is a Nepali politician and member of House of Representatives on proportional representation.[2]

She most recently served as the Minister for Physical Infrastructure and Transportation of Nepal in the ruling coalition government led by Prime Minister and Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba.[3] Recently, Yadav resigned from the People's Socialist Party, Nepal.[4]

Personal life

[edit]

Yadav was born on June 19, 1963, in Forbesganj, India to Rameshwor Prasad and Chintamani Devi Yadav. She belongs to the Ahir community.[5]

Political life

[edit]

Yadav was elected as a Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) candidate to the Pratinidhi Sabha in the 1999 election from the Saptari 3 constituency.[6] In 2002 she was elected to the central committee of the RPP.[7]

In June 2003, she was named Minister for Women, Children and Social Affairs in the Surya Bahadur Thapa-led cabinet appointed by King Gyanendra.[8] When the RPP was divided and Thapa broke away and formed the Rastriya Janshakti Party, Yadav joined the new RJP.

In February 2008 she resigned from the parliament and left RJP, in support of the Madhesi agitation.[9][10]

In April 2008, she won the Saptari 4 seat in the Constituent Assembly election as a Madhesi Janadhikar Forum candidate.[11] In late May 2008, she was included in the central committee of MJF.[12] She was subsequently appointed as Minister of Education and sworn in on August 22, 2008.[13]
