CPN-M‚ NC adamant on ousting Bhattarai

KATHMANDU: Nepali Congress (NC) and CPN-Maoist reached the conclusion that both the parties would not accept the Baburam Bhattarai-led unity government.

At a time when UCPN-M Chair Pushpa Kamal Dahal has been emphasising that the national unity government will be led by Baburam Bhattarai, NC and CPN-M are united against it.

In a meeting held between CPN-Maoist vice-chairman CP Gajurel, leader Dev Gurung and President Sushil Koirala at the latter’s residence in Maharajgunj on Sunday, they decided that they will hit the streets together to remove the incumbent government.

There is no alternative to ousting the Bhattarai government, Dev Gurung said after the meeting.

CPN-M Secretary Gurung claimed that the tenure of the incumbent government was already over; adding that the Bhattarai led government is still in power owing to the President’s decision to approve the ordinance related to the budget.

Gurung underscored that crying for the formation of national unity government prior to the resignation of Baburam Bhattarai is pointless.

On the occasion, Koirala also said the Baburam Bhattarai-led consensus government will not be acceptable to his party.
