The Samyukta Loktantrik Madhesi Morcha, an alliance of seven Madhes-based parties, unveiled a month-long protest programme including Tarai banda, denouncing the government’s announcement of local level election date.The regional parties’ response came soon after the Cabinet decided to hold the local elections on May 14. The date was announced amid the opposition of the Madhes-based parties, which had supported the election of Pushpa Kamal Dahal as the best minister.
“They kept telling us that the constitution would be amended before announcing the election day time. What is this if not betrayal?” Sadbhawana Party Chairman Rajendra Mahato told the Comments. “There will be a fitting response from our side.”
Issuing a statement on Monday, Morcha announced to hold torch rallies all through the country on Tuesday and shut down 20 districts of this Tarai on Saturday. After two weeks of initial protest, fresh programmes of agitation can announced, according to some leader of the Tarai Madhes Loktantrik Party.
