Nepal Prime Minister ‘Prachanda’ today said nothing can stop the local level elections slated for May 14 and expressed confidence that Madhes-based parties will participate in the polls.
Talking to journalists after returning from his week-long visit to China at the airport here, Prachanda said his government will move ahead by creating a favourable environment for local polls and that the demands put forth by Madhesi Front would be addressed by the next parliamentary elections. Stating that the election is certain, he said nothing can stop the polls and he is confident that Madhesh-centric parties will take part in it.
The May 14 local elections are being opposed by Madhesis, mostly of Indian-origin, who say the polls should be conducted only after their demands regarding the re-demarcation of provincial boundaries
