Kathmandu, July 20
Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has told top leaders of the Madhesh-centric Rastriya Janata Party Nepal that various demands raised by the party has turned irrelevant now.
He has also suggested that the party review its agendas and concentrate on an extensive master plan for the development of Terai region.
As members of the RJPN presidium led a delegation to the PM’s residence in Baluwatar on Thursday evening demanding that the government prepare and table a constitution amendment bill to meet its demands, Oli, one of the two chairpersons of powerful Nepal Communist Party, said the demand for amendment was also already irrelevant.
The Prime Minister’s Secretariat, however, maintains that Oli clarified the leaders about the possibility of amendment on the basis of need and reasonableness.
“Let’s discuss about shortcomings of the constitution, but let’s not get ourselves stuck there,” the Secretariat’s statement quotes the Prime Minister, “Let’s focus ourselves on development of the country.”
RJPN’s Mahantha Thakur, Rajendra Mahato, Sharad Singh Bhandari, Mahendra Raya Yadav, Raj Kishor Yadav and Keshav Jha had participated in the meeting that lasted for around one and half hours.
