Chairman of CC Nilambar Acharya said since the issue is a serious one it might take time and the issue of state restructuring will be forwarded to the Sub-Committee led by Maoist Chairman Prachanda if consensus couldn´t be forged.



Nepali Congress Parliamentary Party leader Ram Chandra Poudel said more time is needed for consensus. Among other issues related to constitution drafting, 30 are still contentious and waiting for political consensus.
