CPN-M won’t go to Constituent Assembly: CP Gajurel<http://www.nepalnews.com/index.php/news/27743-cpn-m-won-t-go-to-constituent-assembly-cp-gajurel> Vice-chairperson of CPN-Maoist, CP Gajurel said on Sunday that his party will not join the Constituent Assembly regardless of the number of seats which might be allocated to his party. Gajurel’s view has landed at a time when some news reports have been saying that his party is bargaining for 80 CA seats, which is equal to the seats received by the third largest party, the UCPN (Maoist) in the new CA. “The new CA is the continuation of the 25-points agreement, based on which, the CA election was held. Our party, therefore, will not grant political recognition to the CA,” Gajurel said speaking at a program organized by Sambad Dabali in Kathmandu. Commenting about forming a coalition with the UCPN (M), Gajurel said it is not possible now. “They are raising the issue of election rigging. That is not the matter of our concern,” he said. On the CPN-M’s earlier proposal for a round-table conference, Gajurel said it is still relevant. “Our stress is on holding a round-table conference, which will forge consensus for a new constitution,” added he. Despite repeated requests from all quarters, the CPN-M did not participate in the CA election. Later, it was reported in media that they were bargaining for CA seats. Based on media reports, Nepali Congress and CPN (UML), the first and second largest parties, dismissed such possibilities of granting CA seats to CPN-M. “We long kept the door open for them so that they could participate in election. But they did not. Now it is pointless if they are bargaining like that,” said Jhalanath Khanal, chairperson of CPN (UML). “We are in a process of forming a consensus government. Our efforts will be to incorporate a large number of parties,” Khanal added. -- Peace Is Doable -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
