Nepali Congress General Secretary Bimalendra Nidhi is of the opinion that the present Constituent Assembly has lost its relevance and that parties need to seek a "fresh mandate". He made this comment at a program organised by the Press Union, Parsa.

"The CA has failed to draft the constitution. So there is no point in extending its term. The alternative to the present mandate is another mandate and the alternative to the CA is another CA," he said.  He cautioned that this was his "personal opinion" and not the official line of his party but suggested that Nepali Congress and the Madhes should be ready for a new mandate.
