Speaking at an inaugural of the first district convention of the party in Dhankuta on Tuesday, veteran politician of Panchyat era, Thapa, said that instead of resolving the problems dogging the country, the government is holding the municipal elections.

He pointed out the need of national reconciliation to resolve the present crisis of the country.

He said that it is a weakness of the government to take criticism of the government’s act against human rights as foreign intervention.

The RJP which had registered at the Election Commission for the purpose of municipal election did not participate in it saying consensus among constitutional forces is a must to resolve the present crisis dogging the country rather than holding election.

The government is holding the municipal poll on February 8 despite the call from seven major opposition alliance to actively boycott it and the Maoist threats to disrupt it.
