BIRATNAGAR, July 30: Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sujata Koriala has indicted that her party Nepali Congress can withdraw from the prime ministerial race for the sake of national consensus.



Collaboration and consensus is the need of the hour at a time when the country has become the prison of indecision, she said talking to reporters at her residence in Morang Friday morning. [break]



"The Congress has nothing to do with the prime minister post, it has only to do with the country and the people," she said. "Not a majority government, a consensus government is what needed now. The past 13 months of period has proved majority government can do deliver."



Two crucial points of the three-point signed among the three major parties—extension of Constituent Assembly deadline and resignation of the government—were already fulfilled, she said, adding that it is the turn of the Maoists to forge consensus.



"If the Maoist party comes up with an agreeable solution in the integration of its army combatants, all parties can accept Prachanda ji as the new prime minister," she said.



Asked about the UNMIN´s mandate, the deputy prime minister said all parties will discuss and reach a conclusion.
