| CA debate sees only Maoists supporting 14-state federal structure --2010-02-01 | The second day of debate in the Constituent Assembly on proposed 14-state federal system saw only the opposition party Unified CPN (Maoist) supporting the concept.
Speaking during Monday's discussion on the draft of the State Restructuring Committee, CA members of other parties said such a large number of states would not be economically viable for Nepal.
Nepali Congress leader Dr Ram Sharan Mahat said 14 states have been proposed without any basis. He said the decision has been taken at the whims of some committee members.
Stating that federalism should ease the life of the people and ensure government services closer to them, Dr Mahat said the proposed 14 states are not administratively feasible to deliver these services.
UML leader Shankar Pokharel said the committee made every effort to forge consensus among parties in preparing the report and admitted that the committee failed while naming states and determining their geographical locations.
He opposed the idea of carving states based on ethnicity, discarding other important aspects like population and geography.
Moist lawmaker Khadga Bahadur Biswokarma, defending committee's draft, claimed that federalism based on ethnicity with autonomy would strengthen nationalism and national unity.
The lawmakers from Madhes based parties repeated their calls for single province in southern belt, despite opposition from other parties that it is not viable in terms of economy and administration.
Other lawmakers spoke in favour of constituting a state restructuring commission to determine the number and area of states in federal Nepal.----nn
