New govt has a load of responsibility on its shoulder: Former Govt Chair Regmi

Kathmandu / July 30: Former Chairman of the Interim Election Council of Ministers, Khilraj Regmi has said the parties need not involve in frequent change in government if they moved ahead by holding the national interest and public welfare as supreme.

Also the former Chief Justice, Regmi said the most important work of priority for the upcoming government at present was implementation of the constitution.

Minister for Industry Som Prasad Pandey said although the parties might have divergent political principles and role, they should stand as one when it comes to making the country self-reliant and safeguarding its sovereignty.
