KATHMANDU, OCT 07 - UCPN (Maoist) leader Dev Gurung has said if the four-point agreement is not amended there might be the need to find an alternative to Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai.
Gurung’s such remark comes at a time when the opposition parties including Nepali Congress and CPN-UML and the hard-line faction of the Maoist led by party Vice Chairman Mohan Baidya have been strongly objecting to the four-point pact signed between the Maoists and the Samyukta Loktantrik Madhesi Morcha.
He said it might be essential to think of an alternative if the establishment faction of the Maoists remained firm on the stand regarding the four-point agreement.
“We cannot continue to ignore the erroneous activities of the leaders as the future outcome can’t be predicted,” Gurung said.
At the programme, UML leader Raguji Panta said a national government might be the only alternative to peace and constitution.
However, he added the government led by Baburam Bhattarai could not be given the shape of a national government.
He also said someone who could not live up to words did not deserve the post of prime minister.
“CPN-UML would lend support to the government, if the current prime minister works to complete the peace and constitution in a committed manner,” he said.
Likewise, Nepali Congress leader Narayan Khadka said his party would only support the Maoists if they showed willingness to complete peace and constitution drafting.
