UML leader Gautam rules out fresh election

Vice chairman of CPN-UML Bamdev Gautam Saturday ruled out possibility of fresh Constituent Assembly (CA) elections.

Speaking at a press meet organised by Press Chautari Dhading in Dhadingbesi, Gautam said that political consensus was the only option to handle the critical situation of the country.

"CA election can not be held time and again," Gautam added, "Now an all party-conference should be organised to go ahead collectively."

He also accused the Maoists of provoking sections of the society by putting forth the agenda of single ethnicity based federalism to fail the constitution writing process. nepalnews.com
