‘NC punished by Madhesis in CA election’

Kathmandu,

Nepali Congress (NC) senior leader Sher Bahadur Deuba said NC lost in the Constituent Assembly election because of Madhesi people’s punishment.

Addressing an assembly organised by the party in Rautahat district on Saturday, Deuba said that the NC leaders would not dare to insult the Madhesis from now on. He also assured that the new constitution would ensure federalism.

Saying that the weapons of the UCPN (Maoist) were under the disposal of the government, Deuba claimed that the new constitution would be promulgated by May 27, as there was no hindrance in the constitution drafting process.

Moreover, Deuba went on to blame the Madhesi leaders for disseminating rumors that NC was against Madhes and said that the party would now on work in accordance with the sentiments of Madhesi people.

NC leaders Bimalendra Nidhi, Gagan Thapa, among others, also stroke the same chord as Deuba saying that NC would not go against the Madhes.
