Rajbiraj, February 3

Madhesi Janaadhikar Forum-Democratic Chairman Bijaya Kumar Gachhadar today said his party would not participate in civic polls without passage of a revised the Constitution amendment bill from the Parliament.

Addressing party cadres in Rajbiraj, Gachhadar accused the government of trying to announce the election dates without amending the statute amendment bill.

Accusing the leaders of major parties of not being serious towards problems facing the country, Gachhadar said, "Leaders of the Nepali Congress, CPN-UML and CPN-Maoist Centre are power hungry and are not concerned about the country's problems," he said.

Stating that the people's long-cherished dream of writing the constitution through the Constituent Assembly was yet to be realised, he said, "The constitution was written, but the big leaders of the big parties are not serious about its implementation."

Gachhadar insisted that though the country had witnessed many changes through the past movements led by the big parties they had failed to lead the country in the right direction in the present scenario. "Leaders of the big parties are totally indifferent to the plight of the common people," said Gachhadar.
