Chairman of the Sanghiya Samajbadi Forum-Nepal (SSF-N) Upendra Yadav said on Sunday that his party would participate in all three-tier elections to institutionalise the achievements gained through the constitution promulgation.

Speaking at a press meet here on Sunday, Yadav said various regressive forces were conspiring to make the federal republic a failure.

He said they would continue their struggle to defeat such forces and ensure their rights.

Yadav accused royalist forces of plotting against the constitution amendment. “There were 401 lawmakers in support of the amendment and amendment was certain on April 30. But the royalists foiled it after which 10 lawmakers went missing,” he said.

Yadav is, however, confident of amendment. Government’s decision to conduct election in two phases instead of one was the first step towards amendment, he said, claiming that the local units in the Tarai would be increased based on the 

population.

The SSF-N leader also expressed hope that all Madhes-based political parties would participate in the local elections, saying, “Talks are on with the Rastriya Janata Party and the Bijay Kumar Gachhadar-led Madhesi Janadhikar Forum Loktantrik in this regard.”
