A meeting among the senior leaders of Nepali Congress, CPN (UML), Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) and Madhesi Janadhikar Forum (Democratic) will take place at PM’s official residence at Baluwatar, PM’s Secretariat said.
The leaders are expected to deliberate on how to make the local polls a success and bring onboard the disgruntled sides. The local level elections are taking place on May 14 after a hiatus of almost two decades.
