He said that such problems were causing the province to lag behind other provinces. 

He urged all political parties to unite and cooperate with each other. Stating that the former CM had called for an all-party government to solve the problem, he said this government had also called for an all-party and consensual government.

CM Thapa said that the Provincial Assembly had been adjourned for an indefinite period after the 

budget came through the ordinance in Koshi province and that the present government was working to address the situation. 

He said that at present situation, it would not be possible to achieve majority government and even if the government reached the majority, it would not be enough for the stability and development. 

He pointed out a need for a consensus government.
