He further said a process to institutionalize the constitution is underway. PM Dahal shared, "I claim that I have understood more about federalism than others. I am actively involved in strengthening federalism."
Stating that the police adjustment act, civil service act and education act were necessary to strengthen the provincial governments, Prime Minister Dahal shared, "Province governments will be strong only if these acts are brought into implementation."
