Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister Bimalendra Nidhi has blamed CPN-UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli for misleading the people regarding the constitution amendment bill. Nidhi claimed that the UML was spreading false information against the very amendment that it had proposed earlier, fearing defeat in the upcoming local body elections.  Addressing a function organised in Kushma, the district headquarters of Parbat, on Sunday, Nidhi said that the UML was trying to sow a conflict between the people in the Hill and the Tarai.

“When every page of the agreement on state demarcation, citizenship and national language has Oli’s signature bears Oli’s signature, how can it be anti-national now?” Nidhi said.
