The suggestion was rejected by other parties. NC President Sushil Koirala said he reiterated his party’s stance of the ouster of the Baburam Bhattarai government and its replacement by a national consensus electiongovrnment which will announce a budget. UML Chairman Jhalanath Khanal said a budget can be promulgated only after a government change.. Chairman of Madhesi Morcha in government and Deputy Prime Minister Bijaya Kumar Gachhadar said government is opting for a partial one third-budget to run the administration. Gachhadar abandoned government effort to announce a full budget for the remaining eight months of the current fiscal year. The ruing coalition is meeting later Sunday to discus the contentious budget. nnnn
