said so at a time when the main opposition party CPN-UML is piling pressure on the government to withdraw the constitution bill.


“The UML stance on the constitution amendment bill is against the democracy, parliamentary system and constitutional norms. I would like to urge CPN-UML to back down from its stance,” said Nidhi.


Meanwhile, he stressed on the need to hold all the three polls – local, provincial and federal –by December 17, 2017, saying that the polls could not be conducted in hilly and mountainous regions due to severe cold.
