Leader Nepal will also hold a meeting with chief minister of Bihar Nitish Kumar in course of his visit to Patana.



Talking to journalists before his departure at the Tribhuvan International Airport, he said during the meeting the two countries´ leaders will exchange views as how the existing bilateral relations could further grow.



Nepali people are taking part in poll to frame a new constitution, he said, adding that the Indian assistance to this effect is adequate.



When asked people do have no trust to election, he replied that confusion is there since some political parties have not registered their names in the Election Commission.



The idea to have collaboration with ex-King is wrong, he said, adding that there would be room for unity among nationalist forces and Nepali people had there been any problem on nationality. Let us drop such idea, he further said.



Leader Nepal went on saying that the Himani Trust could work for the good of people as the organization is not participating in the election.
