Chairman of the CPN (Maoist Centre) Pushpa Kamal Dahal has claimed that the agitating Rastriya Janata Party-Nepal (RJP-N) will join the third phase of local 

level polls scheduled for September 18. 

Addressing his party’s press meet at Paris Danda on Sunday, Dahal said the government had made a maximum efforts to fulfil their demands and many of the Madhes-based parties had already joined the polls. 

“RJP’s joining the third phase of local polls is almost certain. We need not doubt now,” Dahal said. 

The Sher Bahadur Deuba-led government has made a final attempt to appease them by addressing their remaining demands as amending the constitution might not be possible, Dahal added. 

Despite having registered at the Election Commission, the RJP-N is still undecided over joining the polls.
