KATHMANDU: Federal Council Chairman of Janata Samajwadi Party (JSP) Dr Baburam Bhattarai has described the President’s move as a conspiracy to end federal democratic republic by scrapping the Constitution rather than the announcement of the mid-term polls.
Taking to Twitter, leader Bhattarai said, “The President’s move to declare the mid-term polls on the recommendation of the Prime Minister is a collusion to wipe out the federal democratic republic alongside with the Constitution which began from since December 20.”
