He said his government could not conduct Constituent Assembly elections called for November 22 as political parties failed to clear legal and constitutional hurdles. He added that his government is committed to hold CA elections.
The PM said the new constitution could not be drafted in time due to a tussle between change seeking and status quotist forces. He however, added that peace, new constitution, governance and prosperity of the country have remained top priorities of his government.
