Speaking at a press conference organized in the capital, Joshi said, "The government hasn´t yet completed army integration, the crucial task of peace process, so there is no point in continuing to support to the government." [break]
He said that their party had supported the government as Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai had vowed to complete the peace process and promulgate new constitution within 45 days of the formation of government under his leadership.
Stating that the government didn´t consult their party on crucial issues such as legalization of conflict-era land deals and citizenship certificate, Joshi said it made no sense for his party to continue supporting the government.
The party´s central committee meeting held on February 15-17 had decided to withdraw support to the government. During the meeting, the party had slammed the government as the most corrupt in the history of the country.
"The government has indulged in corruption and failed to maintain good governance and austerity," reads a press statement issued by the party.
The party has urged all other political parties to rise above their party interest to form a national consensus government.
To put pressure on the government for promulgating constitution and concluding the peace process within the stipulated time, the party plans to organize district level gatherings next month and a nationwide gathering on April 8.
