Constitution Supplement
"The constitution will be written"



What do you do when the CA is adjourned?

Even if the CA is out of business, parliament sessions are going on. I have to lobby for the development of my district in the house and also do party work.

Is the conflict between Tamsaling and Newa states getting serious?
Our party declared the states in principle only, demarcation has not happened yet. Conflict might arise when demarcating the state boundary. In district-wise division, Kavre is in Tamsaling but what if Tamangs claim Swoyambhu like Newars' claim Banepa?

Where will you make the capital of Tamsaling?
We have not decided yet. The capital should be at a convenient distance for the people so that they don't have to walk for more than 3 hours to reach services. It will be decided only after consultations with the people.

Tamsaling state stretches from Ganesh Himal to Gauri Shankar. Doesn't that make it impossible to deliver service in three hours?
We can make autonomous units within a state to address this issue.

Helmo and Chepang are against the declaration of states, aren't they?
They don't have what is needed to make a state/province. Jirel, Thami and Danuwar are also in a similar situation. They should be given autonomy anyways.

Will you still remain CA member even if the constitution is not written by 28 May?
The CA clause of the interim constitution says the CA members shall remain until a new constitution is written.We've had good discussions about the constitution so far. The CA will continue until the next constitution is promulgated. The constitution will be written for sure.
