He emphasized that the constitutional amendment is aimed at progress and advancement, not regression. Bhattarai questioned, "While the Prime Minister suddenly remembers caste, language, religion, culture, Madhes, Dalits and women, where are the Magars from Rolpa who carried arms for you?"


Bhattarai also questioned, "Where are all the Dalit youths of the country bearing weapons for Prime Minister Dahal?" He cautioned against manipulating the best interests of the country to serve personal agendas.
