Nepalese parties miss deadline to form govt

Gout to be formed by majority support in House: Prachanda

Al P, PTI, Kathmandu
Nepal's former Maoist rebels and mainstream parties failed to meet a deadline to form a new government. leaving the Himalayan nation in political limbo, an official said yesterday.
The Maoists, who won the most seats in April assembly elections, blamed Nepal's "traditional style of dirty politics" for the failure to form a government.
"We've missed the deadline for presenting the president with a consensus for government formation due to the petty interests of some party leaders." senior Maoist leader Chandra Prakash Gajurel told AFP
A key meeting of the main political parties in Nepal to end the deadlock over power sharing today was postponed indefinitely, opening up the way for a possible floor test in tire Constituent Assembly to decide who would form the new government in the country.
The four main parties -- CPN-Maoist, Nepali Congress, CPN-UML and Madhesi People's Rights Forum (MPRF) -- indefinitely postponed the meeting to resolve the dispute over power sharing and formulating a common minimum programme.
With the parties failing to form a national unity government under Article 38 (1) of interim constitution, they will seek to form a gov-
ernment under Article 38 (2), which means that the party with the majority support in the Constituent Assembly gets to form the government. '
"As we have missed the presidential deadline, the post-election government will be formed under Article 38 (2) of the interim constitution. But it should not be construed that we have failed to reach a consensus," Maoist chief Prachanda was quoted as saying in the media.
On Tuesday, Ram Baran Yadav, the first president of republican Nepal, extended by three days the deadline he had given for the parties to reach agreement on a Maoist-led new government.
There was no immediate reac-
tion from the president's office to the parties' failure to constitute a government.
The constituent assembly declared Nepal a republic in late May. abolishing the 240 year-old Hindu monarchy, but the parties have not been able to form an administration since.
Minendra Rijal, a senior leader of the Maoists' biggest rival, the Nepali Congress, said more work needed to be done to work out policies and assign ministerial portfolios before a government could be formed.
"The situation is very fluid. I am hopeful but not assured that we can find a way out of the current deadlock," said Rijal.
