During the meeting held at the chamber of Speaker Onsari Gharti Magar in Singha Durbar, the duo exchanged views on how to implement the schedule of second phase of local level elections slated for June 14 and address the constitutional provision for bringing the budget on May 29.
The meeting mainly focused on the discussions on the issues whether to prepone the elections or revise or postpone the constitutional deadline for announcing the budget, according to Maoist Centre leader Narayankaji Shrestha.
"The main opposition has showed its concern at the schedule of bringing the budget in the midst of two elections," he said, adding, “Solutions regarding this issue will be sought through discussions with all parties and sides concerned.”
The meeting also touched on the issues relating to the constitution amendment proposal and the impeachment motion registered in the Parliament against Chief Justice Sushila Karki.
Terming the impeachment motion against Karki 'wrong', UML Chair Oli urged the ruling parties to roll it back their decision.
Talking to mediapersons after the meeting, the main opposition leader said the amendment proposal was expected to be brought to the House for voting, but had not introduced yet. He said the party was ready to face it.
Accusing the ruling parties of putting the Parliament in problem by bringing unnecessary issues, he said the constitution had set May 29 as the date for bringing the budget. RSS
