Veteran Communist leader Madhav Kumar Nepal-led CPN-UML on Sunday staked claim for forming a new coalition Government after securing backing from a key Madhesi party, dashing hopes of Maoist chief and caretaker Premier Prachanda to return to power.
Ending the two-week-long political deadlock, the CPN-UML, which also has the support from the second largest party, Nepali Congress (NC), submitted signatures of 346 members from over 20 parties in the 601-strong Constituent Assembly to the House Chairman Subhas Nemwang. A simple majority requires support of 301 members.
The CPN-UML-led allianceâs Prime Ministerial candidate Nepal, accompanied by NCâs Sher Bahadur Deuba and Madhesi Peopleâs Rights Forum (MPRF) leader Vijaya Gachchhadar, handed over the signatures to Nemwang, claiming stake over the next Government.
Nepalâs party said it has also received âverbal assuranceâ of support from CPN-United, which has five MPs.
âSo far, the UML-led alliance has got support from 351 Parliament members from 22 political parties as we have also got verbal assurance from (5 members) of CPN-United,â said CPN-UML leader Shanker Pokharel.
CPN-UML, the third largest party, has 108 seats while Nepali Congress led by former Premier Girija Prasad Koirala has 112.
Showcasing the democratic character of the UCPN-Maoists, the caretaker Premier alleged that political parties and foreign forces were trying to convert his party into another LTTE and make him into Prabhakaran.
Prachanda underlined that his Unified CPN-Maoist party had a nationwide organisation and was very popular unlike the LTTE which had only a small pocket of influence.
I challenge those reactionary forces who were trying to covert us into another LTTE, the Maoist supremo said.
He said his party would launch a peaceful movement across the country against the illegal steps taken by the President that had weakened the civilian supremacy in the country.
âWe will fight for maintaining civilian supremacy against military oneâ, Prachanda underlined.
Maoist lawmakers have been blocking parliamentary proceedings for over a week now, asking the President to rectify his step of reinstating the Army chief.
