CDC did injustice to folks of hills, mountainous regions: UML Vice Chair Gyawali

RUKUM: CPN-UML Vice Chairman Yuvaraj Gyawali has said that the Constituency Delineation Commission (CDC) has done injustice to the people of hill and mountainous regions.

At a news conference organised by Press Chautari in Rukum this morning, Gyawali said that injustice was done to the folks of hill and mountainous regions as the CDC submitted its report just by giving priority to the population.

"The CDC should have given 30 per cent weightage for geography and 70 per cent for population while delineating the electoral constituencies. But, the delineation has been made 90 per cent on the basis of population and rest on the basis of population," Gyawali said.

The CDC has made a serious mistake by doing discrimination, he added.

Gyawali, who is also the coordinator of UML's Province No. 6, said that UML was due for making Surkhet the provincial capital of Province No. 6.
