Nepal Maoists not to allow passage of budget until PM resigns | The Unified CPN (Maoist) on Monday said that it would not accept the budget for 2010/11 until Prime Minister
Madhav Kumar Nepal resigns. The Maoist leaders made it clear during a high-level
meeting held to discuss the implementation of the recent three-point agreement
signed between the Nepali Congress, the UML and the Maoists. Talking to reporters
after the meeting, senior Maoist leader Narayan Kaji Shrestha said his party would
not allow the passage of the government policies and programmes and the budget
until the prime minister tenders his resignation as per the three point deal that
led to the extension of the Constituent Assembly. Nepali Congress leader Ram Chandra
Poudel said that the prime minister resignation would soon be followed by the
Maoists implementation of the first point of the three-point agreement. According
to the parliamentary regulations, the policies and programmes of the government
can be presented only three weeks after the commencement of the budget session
to allow lawmakers voice their opinion on the next year's budget. The Maoists
had also delayed the budget for the year 2009/10 after obstructing normal business
of the Parliament for five months demanding civilian supremacy in the country.
Meanwhile, in a bid to garner consensus among the parties, Nepali Congress has
expedite talks with the small parties. Nepali Congress has been claiming leadership
in the to-be-formed government citing that the two governments--under the leadership
of the UCPN (Maoist) and UML respectively- were unable to pilot the statute drafting,
