Rastriya Janata Party Nepal (RJP) presidium member Rajendra Mahato has said a positive environment for election is building up.

Mahato made the remark during an interaction with journalists after distributing relief packages to the flood – stricken in the district on Friday.

He also urged all the political parties to take part in the local polls scheduled for August 21. Mahato complained of the ineffective relief programmes in the districts of Madhes.

The RJP leader added the government released one billion rupees for relief packages to the flood – stricken although his party had sought Rs 26 billion. He also called for formation of an authority to distribute relief citing that relief packages had not reached the concerned districts. RSS
