He said that a proposal has been made to the ruling alliance that the governments of Province 1 and Bagmati Province be led turn by turn but no decision has been taken yet. Minister Khadka also said that the MCC would be passed through consensus as the NC alone doesn’t have the required majority votes in parliament.
Similarly, Minister Khadka said that the National Census Office would make arrangements for conducting the census in the Lipulekh area. In response to a question, he said that "early elections" is not possible for now but could be held in March or April next year if an agreement is reached between the ruling coalition parties.
Likewise, he expressed his heartfelt condolences to the victims of the recent floods and landslides caused by the incessant rains and pledged to provide additional relief after collecting data on total damage.
