Dr Bhattarai, who met President Yadav for the first time after returning home on June 25, also discussed the latest political situation of the country, which is complicated by the demand of the opposition parties for his resignation. They also discussed the political stalemate and deepening political crisis following the unceremonious demise of the Constituent Assembly on May 27.
