Organising a press meet at a local hotel in the Metropolis today, FSF-N Chairman Upendra Yadav said party has decided to take part in the local polls to safeguard people's right to vote in the election. 'We are taking part in the local polls does not mean we are deviating from our agendas, we will organise protest programmes after the elections as demands put forth my Madhesi people have not been heeded,'. Chairman Yadav warned.
