In the above mentioned period his organization arranged for health check up camps for the poor and the needy, as his constituency Dhanusha Chetra -2 is prone to diseases and illiteracy and negligence by the civic authorities, especially after the monsoons and during it. In 2062, he became the president of ‘Terai Sangrakchan Samiti(तराई संरक्षण समिति)’. During the time of Madhesh Andolan (Madhesh Revolution ) in 2063 B.S. the TSS played a vital role and helped injured people by providing for shelter, food and treatment expenses to the people injured in the revolution. In the same period his organization established Madhesh Revolution Injured Treatment Fund (मधेश आन्दोलन घाइते उपचार कोष) for the people who got injured in the madhesh revolution. The responsibility of the organization was to help, treat, recover and rehabilitate people affected by the Madhesh Revolution. After the Revolution of 2063 B.S, he joined ‘Jantantric Terai Mukti Morcha’ and headed the Intellectual committee of the organization that was fighting for the Madheshi rights. In 2065, different organizations decided to meet at Katihar, India. In the meeting it was decided that all the organizations fighting for the madhesh and madheshi rights unite as to become a more strong and invincible force. On this note the ‘Madhesh Rastra Jantrantric Party (MRJP)’ was formed and Rajeev Jha was handed the post and responsibility of the general secretary of MRJP. As the Nepalese government was against any such rebel forces, all the leaders of the rebel groups had to go underground to escape vendetta and retribution. In 2069 B.S. Nepalese Government invited all the rebel groups of Nepal to join the composite dialogue to resolve the Madhesh problem and to look into the rights for the Madheshi. As conflicts can be solved by dialogues and meetings, Rajeev Jha followed the wishes of the people he was fighting for, left the underground movement and made up his mind to join the peace and reconciliation process. On 2069-01-06 he returned to Nepal to pursue the dialogue process for the rights and betterment of the Madheshis of Nepal. Upon his return he was inducted into the dialogue committee as a member and he has been so since then. In order to be recognized and become the part of the mainstream politics to serve the people he had been fighting for and serving since his studentship, he and his party joined forces with the like minded Sadhbhavana party Nepal in order to strengthen the Madheshis through unification of the Madheshi forces in Nepalese Politics. He merged his party with all its workers in to the Sadhbhavna Party and he was honoured by being made one of the central leaders of the Sadhbhavna Party. Although his armed revolution and struggle might have come to an end but his commitment to serve, fight for peacefully for the rights of his Madheshis people and Madhesh has not come to an end and we hope that he will continue doing same in the coming years.
