On another note, the PM said conspiracies were being hatched against federalism in the country.
“The government is positive about holding local elections after amending the constitution and thus, starts the implementation of the constitution. But some forces are trying to obstruct the implementation of federalism,” the PM claimed.
According to Maoist Center leader Mani Thapa, the PM said, the Nepali Congress and the CPN-UML want to put the constitution amendment bill on hold and announce local polls. “But I am for implementing the three point agreement signed with the Madhesi Front while forming this government,” he said.
