KATHMANDU, June 20: Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal said on Saturday that no one can term his government illegitimate as the coalition has support from 306 lawmakers in the 601-member Constituent Assembly (CA).



The Maoists, who are criticizing the present government as illegitimate, are behaving like monkeys, the prime minister said at a function in Danchhi VDC in Kathmandu.



Stating that the previous government led by Maoist Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal collapsed due to its own weaknesses, Nepal urged the Maoist leader to stop mud-slinging. He also claimed that the Maoists were becoming envious of the new government as the previous government failed to deliver.







"The tendency of failing to do anything by oneself and foiling others´ attempts is behaving like monkeys," the prime minister said. "They do not build their own home but destroy others."



He also argued that there was no meaning of Maoist protests as anti-government activities would make the Maoist party unpopular among national as well as international communities and that would backfire on the Maoists themselves.



On the government decision on the army chief, Prime Minister Nepal said, "What the new government did is correction of the previous government´s wrong decision."



Nepal, who spent most of the time criticizing the Maoists, said that the violent and anarchical activities will lead the party toward extremism.
