Prachanda says he didn't propose Girija Prasad Koirala as |
Maoist chairman Prachanda has dismissed news reports
that he offered Prime Minister's post to Nepali Congress president Girija Prasad Koirala during a secret meeting held at former royal aide Lokman Singh Karki's
house on Sunday. Speaking at a programme here on Monday, Prachanda said, "The
rumours that he offered support to Koirala as the next Prime Minister were baseless.
He said the meeting with Koirala was just concentrated on finding a solution to
the current political stalemate by addressing the issues concerning the President's
move. Prachanda also said his party was firm in its stance that a national government
should be formed under the Maoist leadership. Leaders of the Nepali Congress and
other ruling allies have reacted sharply to the secret meeting held and 'offer'
to Koirala. Meanwhile, Energy Minister Dr Prakash Sharan Mahat has accused Maoists
of engaging in a strategy to split his party Nepali Congress (NC) by proposing
Koirala as the Prime Minister. "The recent spate of meetings between the leaders
of the UCPN (M), the NC and the CPN-UML is to resume the House proceedings which
remains obstructed due to Maoists insistence on what they call civilian supremacy.
He also said that Maoists are just using G.P Koirala as a pawn to get back into
power, Nepalnews reported. |
