Kathmandu (Nepal), Sep 28 (ANI): The failure of Constitution amendment would be another catastrophe, one of the Madhesi leaders has warned. Rajendra Mahato, one of the Chairpersons of the Rastriya Janata Party Nepal while addressing the parliament on Thursday, said that if the current administrations failed to amend the constitution, it will have to face the similar crises like the previous government. A previous attempt of amendment in the Constitution had failed, owing to lack of a two-third clear majority in the previously dissolved parliament in 2017. With the three-tier elections held simultaneously within a short duration, the Communist parties of Nepal have garnered majority of two-third and appointed K.P. Sharma Oli as the first Prime Minister of federal Nepal. Apart from this, the Budget Session 2018 of the Nepali Federal Parliament, which started on May 4, came to an end on Thursday.
