To keep the country’s economy from deteriorating, a consensus government should be formed before mid-October, Khanal said, adding that his party had once urged Nepali Congress to lead the government.
He also accused the current Maoist-led government of being the most anti-nationalist and unsuccessful government till date. “Now the only solution is elections to Constituent Assembly but the government seems turning deaf ear,” he added.
Khanal has arrived in the district to take stock of the situation following a landslide a few days ago at Harkate along the Mechi Highway.
