Mahmudur Rahman Manna, president of Nagorik Oikya, has raised serious doubts about the feasibility of implementing state reforms, given that political parties have submitted "notes of dissent" on 10 out of the 19 core reform agendas. "Has even one reform been implemented in a year? No," he said. Criticizing the interim government for failing to meet public expectations, Manna added, "The government has achieved little over the past year, and it's unlikely to do much in the next six months either." He urged the government to hold elections promptly, warning that without them, it won’t be able to handle the growing political pressure. He also criticized civil servants: "Deputy commissioners are leading processions—has the Secretariat turned into Madhu's Canteen?"
