A meeting between Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba and UCPN (Maoist) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal has ended inconclusively.

The meeting that was taking place at an undisclosed location failed to yield results after UCPN (M) Chairman Dahal disagreed on NC’s proposal to bring down the current government and form a new government under Dahal.

NC leader Ramesh Lekhak, who was present during today’s meet, informed that both leaders failed to reach to an agreement. “He (Dahal) said with everything happening apace we haven’t been able to convince all of our colleagues,” said Lekhak.

Earlier, on Wednesday, a meeting of the UCPN (M) officials and standing committee had decided to propose Dahal as the Prime Ministerial candidate. 

In a meeting between UCPN (Maoist) Chairman Dahal and PM Oli on Wednesday night, the latter had proposed that CPN-UML would support the Maoist-led government if UCPN (Maoist) allowed the government to present its plans and policies and budget.
