CPN-UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli on Saturday urged the government to announce the date for all three levels of elections immediately.

"It was not relevant to stick to power if the government fails to announce the poll date," he said while speaking at a programme to administer oath of office to those who recently joined the UML, in Bhaktapur.

"I am going to talk to the Prime Minister regarding this today. I will ask him in a forthright manner whether he can hold the elections or not. Or else he should leave the government immediately," he said.

The UML chairman also claimed that the constitution amendment was a ploy to weaken nationality, unity and integrity.

On the occasion, 2,350 people who recently joined the UML were provided with new party membership. RSS
