Blaming the deep division between political parties on federalism for failure to promulgate the constitution, Vice-chairman of Tarai Madhes Democratic Party Brikhesh Chandra Lal said, “Nepali Congress and CPN-UML do not favor federalism. Therefore, it is time we tell the public who is right and who is wrong on federalism.” “We are not afraid of the opposition’s movement. They have nothing to tell the public, except misguide them on federalism, therefore, we need to caution people against their ploy,” Lal said, according to HIMALAYAN NEWS SERVICE of January 17, 2013.
