He said that the political deals that are reached among the four political forces would not be acceptable to his party. He also said that holding elections was not possible if other major parties kept on bypassing the CPN-Maoist in the decision-making process. [break]
Stating that the agreement among the four political forces on forming election government under the leadership of Chief Justice Khilraj Regmi was reached on cue from international power centers, he accused the top leaders of the four political parties of being stooges of foreign elements.
"There is a serious conspiracy behind the decision to appoint a judge as a prime minister. So the four-party deal needs to be foiled through strong protests," Chand told reporters at an interaction organized by Maoist-affiliated journalists here in Damauli on Saturday.
He accused UCPN (Maoist) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal and Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai of betraying the country by working in collusion with the "parliamentary parties". He praised the protest from legal sectors against the proposal to form CJ-led government as an obvious and right move.
Chand is believed to be influential leader in the rank and file of the CPN-Maoist party, which was formed after splitting the ruling Maoist party last year.
Meanwhile, Nepal Federal People´s Republican Front on Saturday has announced fresh protests demanding formation of a national consensus government led and represented by political parties and against the four-party agreement on CJ-led government. The Front comprising CPN-Maoist, CPN (Ekikrit), CPN (Maoist) led by Matrika Yadav, Revolutionary Communist Party Nepal and other fringe parties announced various protest programs including general strike across the country.
