NC Vive-president Ram Chandra Paudel said the meeting failed after when after UCPN (Maoist) and UDMF demanded that the parties resolve ALL and not SINGLE contentious issues in a constitution which couldn’t be written in in four years. “We asked not only for a candidate but also an agenda,” senior Maoist leader Krishna Bahadur Mahara told Nepal Television and said Maoists feared NC was going back on ‘progressive’ changes agreed bilaterally and mentioned ina constitution. “We have been betrayed again,” Paudel charged.
