Rayamajhi said the issue of threshold should not be made the issue of contention, as there was no alternative to CA election at present. Stating that the country is in problem as the major political parties have no clear vision for steering the country forward, he mentioned that most of the political parties have a tendency of not accepting the issues brought about by the change.
