Birgunj, Nov 9: Deputy Prime Minister and
Minister for Local Development Prakashman Singh today pledged to promulgate the
much-awaited new constitution on time through majority votes if not possible
through a consensus.
Inaugurating a new building of a community
library at Pokhariya VDC in Parsa, Minister Singh alleged that consensus had
remained evasive owing to UCPN (Maoist) pressure to have their demands
addressed.
The Minister said that his party Nepali
Congress was continuing the efforts and cooperation with the parties for an
agreement to issue Federal Democratic Republican Constitution.
Congress is in favour of an electoral
system with 50 per cent proportional representation and 50 per cent direct
representation, DPM Singh said, adding that political instability had affected
the development process of the country.
The library was constructed at a cost of
Rs. 3 million with the support of READ Nepal. RSS
