Maoist central committee discusses govt formation

Maoist leaders are busy in internal discussion on how to win the confidence of the parties for a Maoist-led government.

The meeting of the party's central committee (CC), which began Thursday, discussed a proposal presented by party chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda'. Dahal's proposal says the party should take the leadership of the next government by bringing all the parties in the Constituent Assembly into confidence.

Following the meeting Dahal told reporters that his proposal lays down 'policy aspects.'

"So far as power-sharing is concerned, we will do that by holding talks with other parties," he said.

The CC meeting will resume Friday as a number of central members including some senior leaders are yet to comment on Dahal's proposal. Maoist leader Barshaman Pun 'Ananta' said the meeting is focused on devising the agendas for garnering broad political support for the next government.

A meeting of the central secretariat, the apex body of the party, which was held after the party chairman's meeting with the President on Wednesday, had decided to take initiatives for a unity government. nepalnews.com mk July 31 08
