Nepal: Crisis deepens, Maoists to discard election if NC leads Govt

Telegraph Nepal

The Unified Maoists Party will not take part in the election held by Nepali Congress led government.

Things now have begun moving in the “desired” 12 point direction.

Addressing a regular press meet at the party headquarters in Kathmandu, September 22, 2012, the party spokesperson Agni Sapkota said, “If we allow Congress to assume the post of the prime minister, this will cause political imbalance since President also belongs to the Nepali Congress. We are of the view that Prime Minister should be from a different party as the President comes from Nepali Congress.”

“The idea is to capture the state”, Sapkota made a brilliant remark.

He in an indirect manner claimed that Nepali Congress will not be allowed to lead the government.

“The situation of the country has become such that our party has been forced to forward its claim over the election government”, said Sapkota and added, “We will nevertheless continue to hold talks with other parties to search for an amicable solution.”

Sapkota also urged general public to come to the streets pressurizing political parties to forge consensus.

  • Tit for tat.Maoists have realised it very late.If other parties are disinterested in solving country's problem their sincerity is not paying any divident. They might aswell behave irresponsibly!

  • though i don't belong to any political party in nepal but completely agree and withstand with maoist spokesman.I have been watching many nepali congress leaders talking on television and the only thing i can make out from there comments is that they cannot see any other political party in power and that too the maoists.Since the beginning of the peace process and after CA elections nepali congress has been an obstacle,be it in terms of electing president,handing over the government leadership to the then largest party,integrating maoist army in national army,form of governance,judiciary the most federalism.Nepali congress is simply not digesting the fact that our country has gone through lots of political changes now and gone are the days when congress use to be the so called sole representative of the self defined democracy where more than seventy five percent of nepalese are waiting their life to be uplifted from the menace of poverty.
