Rolpa, Dec 25: Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal on Saturday said then the UCPN (Maoist) had committed mistake by not accepting the proposal floated earlier by Nepali Congress and CPN-UML to make a separate state comprising hilly districts from Province 5.
“The recent constitution amendment bill has realigned Magar cluster in the same province. The Maoist had been pitching for linking Magarat and Tamuwan,” he said.
Talking to media-persons in the district, PM Dahal, also Chairman of the CPN (Maoist Centre), claimed that the amendment bill has been brought to redraw provincial boundaries in line with the proposal previously made by Oli and then NC President the late Sushil Koirala.
He also clarified that the constitution amendment proposal was registered to hold all three levels of elections within the stipulated timeframe (April 2018).
In a different context, PM Dahal said he would never mete out injustice to the districts like Rolpa, Rukum and Pyuthan which he said helped develop the Maoist uprising.
PM Dahal was in the district to inspect Ghorahi-Thabang martyr road constructed by local people during the Maoist-decade long insurgency.
He was accompanied by Maoist Centre leaders Ram Bahadur Thapa, Narayan Kaji Shrestha, Top Bahadur Rayamajhi and PM Dahal’s personal assistant Jokh Bahadur Mahara. RSS
