Underlining the need of resolving all the political problems in package, Poudel said the PM would not quit just following the demands for it from the Nepali Congress and the CPN (UML). [break]
Speaking at a press meet at Gaindakot here today, Poudel who is also the UCPN (Maoist) politburo member said his party was committed to ending the country´s problems.
It would be better for the country if the incumbent government was transformed into a national unity government with the participation of other parties including the Congress and UML.
"The UCPN (Maoist) is ready to give portfolios of the important ministries to the Congress and UML, if they agree on party-led government of national consensus," he said, adding that the party was making efforts to ensure consensus within the deadline set by the President.
The PM would be compelled to expand the Cabinet to reduce his workload if the consensus is not possible within the President-set deadline, said the PM´s press advisor.
At present, the PM himself is looking after many ministries in the absence of the ministers concerned.
Responding to a query about the opposition parties´ warning for an agitation if the PM delayed to resign, Poudel claimed that they (opposition parties) would not get the people´s support for that.
