Deputy leader of the CPN-UML Parliamentary Party and standing committee member, Subas Chandra Nembang has urged the leaders of Madhes-based parties to change their ongoing agitation into election campaign.

At a news conference organised here on Saturday, leader Nembang suggested to find solution on minor disputed issues through discussion as Madhes-based parties have already come to consensus on federal democratic republicanism and secularism.

Saying it was compulsion to hold election of three tiers within coming January 14, 2018 for constitution implementation, former Chairman of Constituent Assembly (CA), Nembang said, "The role of Madhes-based parties is crucial to implement the constitution and to make the election successful. There is no alternative to participate in the election."

The UML leader said that it was responsibility of all to protect and implement the constitution gained from decade-long struggle. He claimed that the CPN (UML) would be the top party in the coming local-level election. RSS
