Hours after turning down the governing parties’ call to participate in in local level elections set for May 14, the Samyukta Loktantrik Madhesi Morcha (SLMM), an alliance of seven Madhes-based parties, said on Tuesday that its stance remains the same: constitution amendment before polls.Earlier in the morning, the governing CPN (Maoist Centre) and the Nepali Congress held a meeting with the Madhes-based parties to convince them to participate in elections.“We firmly believe that the constitution amendment bill should be passed before local polls. That’s our only priority right nowadays. Any discussion about elections without amending the constitution is but a futile exercise,” said Sadbhawana Party Chairman Rajendra Mahato after the Morcha’s meeting held at their work of Tarai Madhes Loktantrik Party in.
