He pointed out the possibility of CPN-UML and UCPN-Maoist also joining hands to form the coalition government in the Nepali Congress leadership.

He expressed his concerns over calling back the security personnel, including police and army, from the Tarai region during the agitation, saying doing so has imposed security threat to the general public's life and property.
