Earlier the leaders of the three major parties had held talks with Madhesi Janaadhikar Forum-Democratic Chair Bijaya Kumar Gachhadar on the constitutional issues. According to a source, Gachhadar warned the three parties — the Nepali Congress, CPN-UML and Unified CPN-Maoist — that if they did not agree on two provinces in Madhes, they would have to eventually agree on One Madhes, One Province agenda. According to a source, Gachhadar issued a strong warning to the three major parties, saying a lot of water had flown under the bridge and the people of Madhes would not accept more than two province in Madhes. “If you do not agree on two provinces in Madhes now, you will have to ultimately agree on single Madhes province,” the source quoted Gachhadar as telling the top guns of the three parties. Gachhadar, one of the signatories of the 16-point deal, walked out of Special Committee meeting on Friday protesting the three parties’ deal on seven-province model.
