RAJBIRAJ: Madhesi Janaadhikar Forum-Democratic Chairman Bijaya Kumar Gachhadar today stated that the CPN Maoist Centre Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal and Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba's stance about endorsement of the Constitution amendment bill and the  CPN-UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli's stand against it were both extreme. Stating so at a press conference in Rajbiraj, Gachhadhar suggested that the parties should find a midway to lead the country out of the crisis. The leader said the bill could not be passed without a proper consent, expressing his readiness to hold the talks with the ruling coalition for the same. Gachhadhar said the Madhes-centric parties also maintained double standards by protesting the Constitution while voting for Dahal as the Prime Minsiter. He also informed that he had been holding talks with the Madhes-based parties to find a solution to the Madhes' discontentment. The former deputy prime minister also stressed the need for flexibility from both the sides for the same. Meanwhile, Gachhadhar said the local elections would not be possible under present circumstances.
