NEPALESE PRIME MINISTER HOPES MAOISTS WILL REJOIN THE GOVERNMENT
Nepal’s Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala announced on October 20 a new date for the Constituent Assembly (CA) elections would be fixed after holding a meeting of the seven-party alliance immediately after Dashain festival ends next week. He expressed unhappiness over the postponement of the CA elections which was scheduled for November 22. He made a point that the Maoists would rejoin the government once the fresh date for the CA polls is finalized. “If the Maoists don’t join the government after date for the polls are finalized, then it would prove that the Maoists are running away from the elections,”
Koirala added. He said that the Maoists have failed to abandon the attitude of armed group even after inking the comprehensive peace agreement. “It takes time for change. Prachanda and Baburam alone cannot help it,” he said.
