BIRATNAGAR, May 30: With just 26 days to go before the second round of local elections, two key Madhes-based parties - Federal Socialist Forum Nepal (FSFN) led by Upendra Yadav and Nepal Democratic Forum (NDF) led by Bijay Kumar Gachchhadar - have intensified their preparations for the polls while the Rastriya Janata Party Nepal (RJPN), which was formed after a merger of six Madhesi parties a little more than a month ago, is still undecided.
