Kathmandu, April 16: Nepali Congress leaders representing Province 2 have suggested on going for the local level election only after forging consensus with the Madhes-centric parties.
This suggestion came from a discussion among the party’s central members, lawmakers and the party district presidents representing the Province 2 held at the party central office at Sanepa today.
Party central committee member Ajaya Kumar Chaurasiya said they drew the party ;eadership’s attention on the need of going for the local level election only after resolving the Madhes issues.
He stressed that a ‘middle course’ solution should be sought in the context of the main opposition party, the UML, not becoming flexible to address the problem and the Madhes-centric parties stuck to their stance that they were not participating in the election unless the issues they have raised were settled.
Eight district presidents of the party have informed the party leadership that loss of life and property might result if the election was held in the present situation.
Party president from Sarlahi district, Nagendra Kumar Raya, said many participants in the meeting demanded to the party leadership to create the environment conducive for the election by reaching a compromise with the Madhes-centric parties at the earliest as the people of the province and the leaders of the Madhes-centric parties were positive towards the polls.
NC Mahottari district president Mahendra Kumar Raya, Parsa district president Ajaya Dwivedi, Rautahat district president Krishna Yadav, Dhanusha district president Ram Saroj Yadav, Saptari district president Dinesh Yadav, Bara district president Jaya Chandra Chaurasiya, Siraha district president Ram Chandra Yadav, central members Pharmullah Mansur, lawmaker Surendra Chaudhari among others stressed on the need of reaching a consensus for creating the environment for election as the election cannot be held in the current situation.
At the outset of the meeting, Minister for Physical Infrastructure and Transport and central member, Ramesh Lekhak had informed that a new constitution amendment proposal has been registered in the Legislature-Parliament by revising the old one in agreement with the Madhes-centric parties for a consensus.
