President of Nepali Congress (Democratic) and former prime minister Sher Bahadur Deuba has expressed doubts that the Constituent Assembly (CA) elections will be held in Mangsir (November/December).

Talking to reporters following a meeting of his party leaders in the capital on Thursday, Deuba said, “In the hilly regions, the Maoists continue to spread terror and violence. They seize vehicles even of police and have not returned properties they have captured. On the other hand, there is violence in Terai region. Elections cannot be held without improving these situations.”

Deuba has been making a series of statements denouncing Maoist violence and doubting the credible polls in recent times.

He has just returned from an extended trip to the far west region.
