He said the government has not responded to EC´s written request regarding removal of legal difficulties for holding the elections. "We have already sent a letter to the government urging it to remove the legal difficulties but the government has yet to respond," Uprety added.
Instructing officials at the District Development Committee, Parbat, he directed them to remain prepared for the election.
He maintained that the CA elections should be held in March if it is not held in November.
On the local elections, Uprety said it was ´mockery of democracy´ to not hold elections to the local bodies even after restoration of peace in the country.
