State And Local Elections Before Monsoon 2015

It is imperative that the constitution is promulgated on time, and the state and local elections are held before monsoon 2015. The vacuum at the local level has been a great disservice to the country and its peoples.

Because federalism is still as controversial as ever, it is likely the geographical boundaries might be agreed to, but it might be best to leave the business of naming the states to the duly elected state legislatures. I have seen too many hyphens in some of the proposed names.
