KATHMANDU: Madhesi Janaadhikar Forum Nepal Chairman Upendra Yadav said that he will register his party in the Election Commission (EC) citing that it is routine in a democracy.
However, the former deputy prime minister insisted that the new purported elections to the Constituent Assembly (CA) are not possible in the present atmosphere.
Talking with the media at an interaction organised in the Reporters’ Club, leader Yadav charged the four major political parties of deceiving the people by overly touting the November elections which, according to him, are meaningless.
Even if the polls do happen, they cannot promulgate the new constitution and only haul the nation into further crises, Yadav said. “Any polls to be held bypassing the political conflicts never can pave the way to the nation,” Yadav said.
Stating that they were not anti-election forces, the Madhesi leader urged to hold the elections only after resolving the conflicts adding “We should not forget that we are holding the CA elections but the periodic one.”
Yadav charged the UCPN-Maoist chair of not opting for federalism in the country claiming that Nepal would have already been in the Democratic Republic system if the Maoist boss had intentions for the same.
However, addressing the same function, CPN-Maoist Secretary Dev Gurung made it clear that they would protest the party registration process that has just kicked off from yesterday.
Gurung warned of the revolt if the elections would be imposed in the present circumstances typifying the elections held during the Panchayat system and former king Gyanendra’s regime.
He echoed leader Yadav about the upshots of the purported elections and said that the polls further misguide the nation.
Some 33 fringe parties led by the CPN-Maoist have already declared protest schedule including barricading the election preparations throughout the nation.
