The People's Liberation Party and the People's Liberation Party, which are working on unity by forming a working group, have decided on issues such as the leadership structure and election symbols of the unified party. It has been analyzed that the unity of these two parties, which are doing politics with Madhesi and Tharu communities at the center, will create a party that will influence the geography of Madhesh from east to west.

On the other hand, LOSPA, Jaspa Nepal, Rashtriya Mukti Morcha, Janamat, Janata Pragatisheel, Civil Liberation and Tamalopa announced the 'Union Democratic Front' on March 21. The front is sure to take up the agenda from Madheshi, Tharu to tribes more strongly. The current closeness of the parties, which basically focus on the same geography and advocate the same agenda, is positive. This will help make their agenda more meaningful and empowering. Their continued belief in the current unity effort and frontline is expected.

Madhesh-centric politics was started by Vedanand Jha, who opened 'Tarai Congress' in 2008. Over time, Gajendra Narayan Singh further broadened the path of Madhesh politics through 'Sadbhavana Party'. Leaders like Upendra Yadav, Mahant Thakur, CK Raut and others kept getting involved and making the issue of Madhesh more concrete. Many leaders associated with Madhesh politics are in the pages of history. How persistently it was, how much was forgotten in the taste of power. Its value is also in history. However, issues such as self-governance, right to self-determination, and identity remain constant in the geography of Madhesh. Even though the constitution released in 2072 addressed many issues, the Madhesh-centric parties are presenting their agenda with the understanding and explanation that they have not been able to find. The test of their success will be how strongly the parties who are preparing to integrate or who have blocked their agenda will be able to voice their agenda.

Parliamentary democracies have their own charm of parties based on certain geographies and communities. There remains an opportunity to raise the agenda and win the trust of marginalized communities that are overlooked by parties with large and nationwide influence. The more integrated and stronger they are, the more their voice will be heard. So intrusive. That is why the current efforts of unity and front bandh should be guided by the goal of strengthening the voices of marginalized communities. Not the malicious intent of killing the opportunity for power that comes with becoming strong.

Madhesh has an agenda. There are also parties that carry it. Due to their efforts, many agendas have been institutionalized. Yet Madhesh-centric parties are known for power-hungry and divisiveness. Upendra Yadav-led Madhesi Janadhikhar Forum, which emerged as a strong force after the first Madhesh movement of 2063, can be a 'case study' to address sattamoha and division. In the First Constituent Assembly, the leadership of the fourth largest party Forum and the power lust among the leaders became divided again and again. Upendra, the leader established as the hero of the 2063 Madhesh uprising, is himself known as a power-hungry leader these days. His presence in the House has now become technical. This is not only the forum, but also the state of good will and tamalopa. It is natural for the leader of a political party to come to power, but he should be able to establish a public rationale for it. The rise to power of the leader of the Madhesh-centric party is more criticized because he could not justify his own agenda when he came to power again and again. On the other hand, they are adept at division. The life of the current unity and front bandh is therefore in doubt.

Any political agenda can be fulfilled only when the party carrying the agenda is strong and morally strong. If many injuries of history have been endured and the blockade has been carried out with soul awareness, its effect will be seen in the future. In particular, at this time there are some issues that the leaders of the Madhesh-centric party have to resolve. First, strong solidarity or unity. Even though public opinion and civil emancipation have agreed on unity, the rest of the parties are only on front lines. No matter what they do, they should be able to stand together with mutual trust. Second, division must be stopped. They have a tendency to divide in the common differences within the party. The better established the practice of resolving disputes and differences of opinion through a democratic process, the stronger the party becomes. Third, the control of unnatural lust for power. The main reason why the Madhesh-centric party is weak in gaining public opinion, not prioritizing its agenda, the party keeps getting divided and the big political parties stop responding seriously is the moral strength that has been diluted by their lust for power. A golden day can always come in politics if we proceed with self-evaluation and commitment to reform in these and such matters. If not, the golden days that have come will also fade.
