KATHMANDU: Maoist Center Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal “Prachanda” has reached Baluwatar to hold talks with Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba.
Prachanda arrived in Baluwatar for talks after his party decided to adopt a moderate approach regarding the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC).
Finance Minister Janardan Sharma is also present at the meeting.
According to a Maoist leader, it is likely that Prachanda would give two options to PM Deuba: First, either he would tell PM Deuba that he would call back his ministers from the cabinet, or convince PM Deuba to retain the ruling coalition by forging consensus on MCC.
Likewise, Prachanda will also ask PM Deuba to convene a meeting of the ruling coalition and make a final decision on the fate of the coalition.
The source added that since Prachanda has failed to convince PM Deuba to not ratify MCC without amendments, he has made final preparations to recall its ministers from the government.
Prachanda is worried about the possible alliance between Nepali Congress and CPN-UML to ratify the MCC from the Parliament.
Meanwhile, CPN-UML Chairman KP Oli wants the Maoist party and the Unified Socialist out of the government.
