He said this while inaugurating a meeting hall constructed at Balkhu, Kathmandu Metropolitan City-14, today.
Constitutional Amendment and the Question of Stability
The education minister called on the political parties to prepare for the election, take a fresh mandate from the people and restore political stability in the nation. He warned that the country would be in for a crisis if the elections were not held on the announced date.
He said the present political problem was because the government which was working in the interest of the country and the people and for development was not allowed to work freely.
The government has declared April 30 and May 10 as the dates for holding midterm elections following the dissolution of the House of Representatives on Dec 20 last year.
Provincial assembly member Ajaya Kranti Shakya spoke of the need for collective efforts and participation for local development and prosperity.
The meeting hall was constructed at a cost of Rs 2.6 million.
