Kathmandu, 10 Feb.: A faction loyal to first Vice-chairman Mohan Badhya Friday asked Maoist Chairman Prachanda Friday on the second day of a standing
committee meet to form a consensus government, Secretary CP Gjurel said..
Calls were renewed Friday demanding the resignation of Prime Minister
Baburam Bhattarai who leads a government with the support of a front of
Madeshbadi parties.
Bhattarai has been in office for more than five months.
Demands for Bhattarai’s resignation were renewed after he decided to put on hold a cabinet decision to legalize the seizure of assets by Maoists during the the 10-year insurgency.
