Senior leader of the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) (CPN-M) Dev Gurung said CPN-M may even opt out of the government if it calls for amendment of the interim constitution, reported the local media house's website nepalnews.com Thursday.
"We will not compromise on the matter of amending the interim constitution and there's no point in it even because the CPN-M has emerged as the largest party in the Constituent Assembly by winning biggest number of seats and no doubt the mandate is for it to lead the government," said Gurung, who is also holding the portfolio of the Minister for Local Development.
Insisting that constitution amendment is not necessary, minister Gurung said that if Nepali Congress, Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist) (CPN-UML) and other major parties press for constitutional amendment, then the party will let them lead the new government without being part of it.
Meanwhile, Gurung said that preparations are underway at the ministry to form local bodies within next few days as per the agreement of the elected parties.
