CPN-UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli has said it would be meaningless to amend the constitution without implementing it effectively.

Speaking at a press meet at Tribhuvan International Airport before his departure to Bangkok on Thursday, former prime minister Oli said, “It is meaningless to amend constitution without setting the purpose. My party has not been approached formally on amendment of constitution. But I’ve heard that some parties agreed to amend it.”

Pointing to the present government’s inability to get a full shape even after three weeks of prime minister’s election, Oli expressed doubts over its functioning. The ruling parties seemed more serious towards party cadres than to the country, he said.

Chairman Oli was leaving for health check up at Bumrungrad Hospital in the Thai capital. He is accompanied by spouse Radhika and personal secretary Rajesh Bajracharya.

He is scheduled to return home after 10 days.
