I was talking on the same topic with my friends over the phone last weekend. There is less than 4 months of time left to prepare for the CA election. Dashain and Tihar is on the route, that will eat up 1 whole month. Other holidays, minor festivals and weekend sum up to another 20-22 days. Regional strikes, local chakka jam and terai agitation will convert several working days unproductive. Therefore, I don't see any more than2 months of time to prepare for the election after deductive those days of the calendar. On the other hand, there are tonnes of works left in the course of preparation of the CA. Most of the reasons presented while postponing CA election from Jeshtha to Mansir is still unsolved. For example, the debates on boundaries of costitutional district is not solved yet; the election procedure is not detailed yet; the election committee is still not sure how big work force they require; there is no consensus among political parties on the security issues of security of election and election booth; no public awareness and campaign is begun yet. Plus, the security is worsening further in the entire nation. Terai and easter hill is burning. Serious crime and abduction in valley is escalating so high that public has stoped reporting them to police or government because they have lost faith. In such a bad circumstance, how one can convince himself that everything will be right in two months of time? Impossible. I think, even if the government forces to conduct the election anyhow, then, it will turn out to be the 2nd round of KATHA ELECTION ( the failed KAmal THApa ELECTION conducted 2 years ago in local governing bodies, which was not enthusiastcially participated and welcomed by public)
