Speaking to a media gathering organised by Revolutionary Journalists Association in Myagdi, Poudel said that stepping down without a political understanding would only invite further complications.

He argued that the legitimacy of the President can also be questioned if the opposition parties continued to question Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai's legitimacy.

Poudel also said that the UCPN (Maoist) was firm in its stance that the general election and the election of the President should be conducted after promulgating the new constitution by reviving the dissolved CA. nepalnews.com
