BIRATNAGAR: President of Nepali Congress Girija Prasad Koirala (GPK) on Thursday said that leaders were engaged in power lust ignoring their first priority--timely statute drafting.

Speaking with reporters in his hometown Biratnagar, Koirala suggested to his cadres that they participate in statute drafting for historical achievement. He urged everyone to unite together for timely constitution drafting in the same way as they had united to hold the constitution assembly polls.
