CA members are so ashamed of who they are that they have stopped wearing lapel pins. They are being branded as failures in the public eye, and there has been outrage that they are pocketing an allowance despite their inability to draft the constitution on time.

UML MP from Siraha, Ramrati Ram was humiliated twice in his home district when recognised as a CA member. He says that people have been commenting about "useless CA members" in the CA premises itself. He has stopped wearing his pin in public.

MP from Chure Bhawar Ekta Party, Keshav Prasad Mainali, has a similar experience. He was called a "Greedy MP" near the gate of the CA building by some strangers. Mainali, however, says he will never hide his pin.

UML MP Naradmuni Rana keeps his pin at home and makes do with his ID card. The only time where he wore the pins was to enter the CA building during two elections for the prime minister.

MP Chabbilal Bishwokarma says that once people see the pin they ask "a thousand questions" and are rude. "It is better to stay incognito," he says.
