Addressing a press conference in Itahari Saturday, Gupta said the party should not join the Khanal-led government as it won´t deliver peace and the new constitution. [break]
"It´s a blunder on Chairman Yadav´s part to join the government as cohorts of the Maoists when there is no possibility of achieving peace and the new constitution under it," he said.
Gupta said party leaders and cadres in general are dissatisfied with the decision to be part of a Maoist-backed government.
Gupta demanded Prime Minister Khanal´s immediate resignation as the relevance of this government had already ended. Khanal must step down as it is clear he won´t be able to promulgate a new constitution by May 28, he said.
