Dahal, also former Prime Minister, spoke of the need to bring in board Nepali Congress, the major opposition, and dissenting Madhes-centric political parties to hold the election of the local bodies long overdue.

He asserted that the environment conducive for election could not be created until the Madhes related issues are resolved.

Furthermore, Dahal also underlined forging a consensus among the major political parties for formulation of new acts and amendment of existing ones to bring the new national statute into effect.

Clarifying that his party had no objection with the local bodies' poll, he said that the government should be serious towards creating favorable environment for the same.
