Nepal’s agitating Madhesi parties on Wednesday decided to boycott next month’s local elections and hold fresh protests, saying the content of the new Constitution amendment Bill tabled in Parliament was different from what was agreed with the Government.
The United Democratic Madhesi Front (UDMF) leaders, in a meeting held here, claimed that the new proposal has not addressed their key demand — revision of provincial boundary.
They decided to boycott the local-level polls slated for May 14 and announced fresh protests, saying the new proposal has failed to address their demands.
