Election a way to implement constitution: PM Dahal

Kavrepalanchok / March 3: Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal said the elections are a means to implement the constitution, and the incumbent government was working to hold the polls along with the furtherance of constitution amendment.

The constitution has a provision to hold all three levels of elections within the remaining 11 months, PM Dahal said on Friday, while speaking at a programme organised by CPN (Maoist Centre) in Kavrepalanchok.
