Consensus Course

After giving full shape to his Cabinet, Prime Minister and CPN-Maoist Centre Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal Prachanda has moved to forge consensus on burning national issues with the political parties represented in the House of Representatives. On Tuesday, PM Prachanda presided over an all-party meeting, seeking their consensus on the election of the President, Vice President and Speaker. It is natural for the new Prime Minister to promote the spirit of consensus, co-work and collaboration so that the government does not stumble over unintended political fallouts. He called for unanimous position of parties as the country witnessed new political development after he won overwhelming vote of confidence in the HoR. The Nepali Congress, the largest party in the parliament, also voted for Prachanda, which created an atmosphere of co-work and cooperation. The NC has said that it threw support behind Prachanda to protect constitution and federal system.
