The general secretary of Unified Marxist Leninist (UML) Madhav Kumar Nepal has said that India has urged the political leadership to ensure that the elections are held within Mangsir (mid-November till mid-December).

Speaking at a party programme in the capital, he said that India feels it will be “dangerous” to push the elections beyond Mangsir.

Nepal, leading a senior delegation of UML, had recently visited New Delhi where he met with senior Indian leaders including Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

The UML leader also said that the legitimacy of the current government would end if the CA elections are not held on time.
