KATHMANDU: Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai today made it clear to President Ram Baran Yadav that he would never be a stumbling block to consensus politics.
“The prime minister assured the President that he would not be a hurdle to consensus,” Rajendra Dahal, press adviser to the President told The Himalayan Times after today’s meeting.
Prime Minister Bhattarai had called on President Dr Yadav today to brief him on Rio+20, and the Head of State had enquired about current political stalemate and uncertainty over budget presentation in the absence of consensus.
Dahal added that the President advised the prime minister to seek consensus among parties to bail the country out of political crisis.
Bhattarai’s political adviser Devendra Paudel said the prime minister tried to clear the air as some ‘political parties were portraying him as an obstacle to consensus politics’.
“He told the President that he would not stand against consensus but made it clear that his resignation at this point of time would invite further chaos as there was no constitutional and legal way to replace him,” said Paudel.

Bhattrai's comments to Yadav were very telling. It speaks directly to the situation the country now finds itself in as the consequernce of the meddling of NC and cpn_UML. Because these two parties have fought against the Maoist government tooth and nail there has been no positive progress in the country. Bhattrai makes clear that he will seek consensus but does not want the country to become completely lawless if he steps down. So now the carefully laid plot of the NC and cpn-UML will reveal itself. The candidate of the NC will become the next PM and the old faces of the dissolved CA will be revived so they can do the bidding of those who paid them their bribes. they will promulgate a constitution that will assure the status-quo thieves of their loot for the next hundred years. The poor people will be left to cry into their dhalbhat while the evil ones drink their whiskey. suraj Rajbhandhari, Putali Sadak, Kathmandu
