Four parties flayed

KAVRE: National Madhes Socialist Party Chairman Sharat Singh Bhandari on Wednesday accused the four major parties of trying to bring out an incomplete constitution without demarcation and names of federal provinces. Bhandari said so at his party’s function organised in Kavre. He urged the four parties to bring out a complete statute by taking all the parties inside and outside the CA into confidence. Flaying the NC and CPN-UML, Bhandari held that constitution was not a priority for these two parties. “Marginalised communities and backward people are in need of a constitution not the elite of the NC and UML,” said Bhandari. He dismissed media reports that he was involved in communal politics.
