Meanwhile, at a meeting with cadres organized by the Kaski CPN-UML here today, Pokhrel stressed on formation of a national consensus government before Dashain saying Bhattarai-led government has already lost political, constitutional and moral ground.
He expressed the view that the President has to use inherent rights mentioned in the interim constitution as the government will not quit easily.
The General Secretary said the President should call on all parties to form a national consensus government by declaring a deadline in consultation with political parties represented in the dissolved Constituent Assembly (CA).
Stating that the CPN-UML is not in favour of reinstating the CA, he said we should go for election of the CA for fresh mandate by taking the draft of the constitution so far prepared by the dissolved CA as a property.
