KATHMANDU: Prime Minister’s political advisor Devendra Poudel has said that the Chief Justice Khila Raj Regmi-led election government would be formed by Friday.

He said, “Consensus will be forged as we all are presenting ourselves by being maximum flexible. CJ-led election government will be formed by Friday,” he said speaking at an interaction program organized by Reporters Club.

The UCPN (Maoist) leader also revealed that the Prime Minister held frequent talks with Chief Justice Regmi regarding the leadership of the new government. “Chief Justice has never said that he will not become the new Prime Minister.

He also added that Prime Minister Dr Baburam Bhattarai has also discussed with Regmi this morning over the same issue. “There is no problem as rumors are in the market,” Poudel claimed.

He also ruled out the possibilities of chances of consensus in other options if the CJ-led government was not formed and the parties disagreed on this agenda.

Club’s Chairman Rishi Dhamala presided over the program. However, Nepali Congress leader Sujata Koirala said the parties’ attempt to form the CJ-led government would be a backfire for the political parties.

Dissatisfied with the CJ-led government after the party’s top three leaders nod on the Maoist proposal, Nepali Congress central leader Sujata Koirala has said that the NC was becoming like an anti-democratic political party due to some authoritarian decisions of the party’s bigwigs.

She also said that the NC general secretary Krishna Prasad Sitaula and some leaders were making their last ditch to impose dictatorship in the country.
Koirala claimed that the party’s central committee meeting did not entrusted the party’s top leaders—Sushil Koirala, Sher Bahadur Deuba and Ram Chandra Poudel—to take a decision on the CJ-led government.

She also expressed her disapproval to the CJ-led government adding that the parties were attempting to give birth to the authoritarianism by giving the entire rights to a single person.

Also speaking at the same program, UML leader Bhim Rawal said there was no problem from the UML side on the CJ-led government. “If the CJ-led government was not formed, Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai, UCPN (Maoist) and Madhesi Morcha would be blamed,” Rawal added.

He also claimed that other parties agreed on the CJ-led government as the Bhattarai-led government time and again committed anti-national steps.

Maoist to propose Prachanda as new PM after party’s jamboree https://nepalireporter.com/2013/01/4963 https://nepalireporter.com/2013/01/4963#respond Tue, 22 Jan 2013 11:34:03 +0000 http://nepalireporter.com/?p=4963 KATHMANDU: Prime Minister’s chief political adviser and UCPN (Maoist) leader Devendra Poudel has said that the UCPN (Maoist) and present coalition partners would forward Maoist Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ as the new prime minister after the party’s general convention.

On Monday, the Maoist Chairman had also expressed his willingness to lead the new government at a program in Gorkha.
Speaking at an interaction program organized by the Reporters’ Club in the capital, leader Poudel said Prime Minister Dr Baburam Bhattarai proposed Prachanda as the new prime minister yesterday after the discussions by the coalition parties.

Club’s Chairman Rishi Dhamala presided over the talk program.

“Prachanda can be next prime minister as the coalition parties have already decided to seek alternative to the incumbent government from within the coalition partners,” Poudel a trusted-lieutenant of Prime Minister Dr Bhattarai said. There are slim chances of holding fresh CA elections by June if the opponent political parties join the current government but otherwise it is not possible despite political parties so wish, Poudel said.

“All coalition partners are ready to handover the government leadership to the NC if it joins the Bhattarai-led government to ensure timely elections. But, the prime minister will not call it quits at any cost if NC does not join the current government,” he said.

Poudel was of the opinion that this government can be changed only from the political consensus or next government elected from the next CA as formation of the government is full constitutional and valid.

Likewise, spokesperson of Federal Democratic Republican Alliance Prem Bahadur Singh seconded Poduel’s statement and said the FDRA can accept Prachanda’s leadership. He also said that there was no option but to reinstate the CA even for only 24 hours to go for fresh elections by clearing legal hassles.

Nepali Congress (NC) spokesperson Dilendra Prasad Badu said an NC-led election government under party President Sushil Koirala should be formed to end the deadlock. He added that Prachanda’s conspiracy to spot others from leading the government forced the opposition parties to take to the streets against the coalition parties.

He said, “First we have to implement the agreements made so far. New options one after another will not end the deadlock. We all will sink if deadlock continued for long.”

He also said that elections should be held based on consensus as the current government has not prepared ground for holding the elections despite its rhetoric.

Likewise, CPN (UML) secretary Yubraj Gyawali said the opposition parties would not fall in Prachanda’s trap saying that the latter is hell-bent to become the new prime minister.

He said the opposition parties were forced to take to the streets as the UCPN (Maoist) continued the politics of prohibition.

Saying that the Maoist leaders were trying to seize the state power, leader Gyawali claimed the Maoist leaders’ dream of capturing the state power is not going to fulfil that they failed even in the decade-long insurgency.
