Maoist chairman (Prachanda) Pushpa Kamal Dahal on Thursday again reiterated his earlier claim that a 'national unity government' will soon be formed under the leadership of the Maoists.
Stating that a national government "having representation from all political parties" is necessary to prepare new constitution and take the peace process to a logical conclusion, Dahal said that the Maoists, by virtue of being the largest party in the Constituent Assembly, should lead such a coalition government.
Dahal has, however, already said in previous occasions that he is not interested in heading the Maoist-led government.
Speaking to the journalists at Biratnagar Airport before flying to Dharan with other senior party leaders to participate in the regular program the party organizes for its cadres, he claimed that Foreign Minister Sujata Koirala's decision to skip the prime minister's India visit has shown that Nepali Congress is not satisfied with the present government.
"This and failure of the government to renew the trade treaty with India has made it evident that the present UML-led government has been a failure," Dahal said, adding that he has intensified discussion with other political parties for the formation of the Maoist-led coalition government and that the talks so far have been 'positive'.
Dahal including senior leaders Mohan Baidya, Dr Baburam Bhattarai, Ram Bahadur Thapa and Narayan Kaji Shrestha headed to Dharan today to train activists of Kochila, Kirat and Limbuwan state councils
