Koirala claimed the NC was claiming the leadership for the next government to expedite the constitution writing process.
He said peace and constitution-writing processes would not consume five months if political parties were serious to the twin tasks of the nation.
Saying the Maoist party has no alternative to concluding the peace process and supporting the writing of the constitution, Koirala urged the Maoists to implement the past pacts signed with other political parties.
On the occasion, Koirala also expressed dissatisfaction towards the deteriorating condition of law and order in the country. He added that the criminal forces would vanish themselves if constitution was written in time.
Koirala was of the opinion that the NC was in favor of delineating federal states based on consensus, capability, and identities.
In a separate context, Koirala said the NC was in favor of the verdict of the Supreme Court (SC) regarding the CA term extension, adding that rule of law should prevail and all should respect the verdict of the court.
