Three days after he expressed that presidential rule could be a way out of the present political stalemate in the nation, chairman of Nepal Workers and Peasant Party Narayanman Bijukchhe said the Unified CPN-M should be given chance to lead the to-be-formed government.

Talking to media persons in Chitwan Monday morning, Bijukchhe opined that other political parties must accept Maoist leadership as it is the largest party in the Constituent Assembly.

"UCPN (Maoist) must be offered to form the new government under its leadership," he said, adding, “However, Maoist leaders must express their full commitment to take the peace process to conclusion before accepting government leadership."

Earlier on Saturday, Bijukchhe had said country will slide backward and the economy will fall apart if the present situation continues and that the presidential rule could avert such a situation. nepalnews.com
