Leaders of major political parties have expressed differing views on present political situation and formation of new government.
At an interaction organised in Kathmandu on Wednesday, Nepali Congress leader Ramesh Lekhak said if certainty is restored in the political situation, his party would lead the new government. He however said there were contradictory views- one section demanding NC joined government and another denying it.
Similarly, CPN-UML leader Khagaraj Adhikari said the political parties now should support the present government rather than seeking its options. After the Supreme Court verdict split the CPN UML and CPN (Maoist Centre), the UML was for strengthening its organization and party image.
CPN Maoist Centre leader and National Assembly member Dinanath Sharma said his party would not withdraw support to the present government until the candidate for new prime minister emerged. He argued that only withdrawing the support to the present government does not clear the present impasse.
On the occasion, civil society member Sundar Mani Dixit said the best person for the new prime minister at present is Chairman of Janata Samajbadi Party Nepal, Mahantha Thakur. He argued that country was in a stalemate due to parties' wrangling.
