He said that when going to the elections, we should go with a clear agenda of constitutional amendment. The main topics of the constitutional amendment should be corruption-free country, reform of the government system and issues of good governance. These things should go to the election with a commitment to amend them from the next parliament," he said. He said that President Oli has proposed a strong party unity and it should start by renewing the membership of Bidya Bhandari.
