It is also trying to pick candidates for chairs and vice-chairs in some wards. “The party has been preparing internally,” the source added.
Another leader of the party said preparations for elections was under way. “We have been engaged in the internal home work for the election as the party might take part in the second round of the civic polls,” he added.
It is said that the RJP-N has been carrying out election related meetings among its top leaders in the district since one week. Further, the party is said to have been holding discussion among its leaders about possible candidates and the party’s election policy.
