On reports of efforts to reschedule the poll date, he viewed that the elections in Tarai 11 districts could be held in the third round if the RJPN made commitments to participate in the polls.
DPM Gachchhadar also urged all political parties to unite in increasing the acceptance of the constitution while calling for resolving existing problems instead of pushing the country towards conflict.
