CPN-UML general secretary Madhav Kumar Nepal Saturday said Sher Bahadur Deuba should not be in power for a long time.

“Deuba must also go very soon,” Nepal said speaking at a program organized by the party in the capital today. After Deuba, he said, it was UML’s turn as the largest political party to rule the country.

Nepal claimed the Deuba government would surely tumble without the UML supporting it. “If the UML denies support, the Rastriya Prajatantra Party would also not join the government,” he maintained adding, “Then the idea of an all-party will automatically fall flat.”

The UML number one also made it a point that his party was not hastening to join the government. He said, “We believe the present crisis can be solved only through national consensus. Being in government is not enough to achieve that goal.”

Nepal however repeated that his party has welcomed the annulment of the Government’s Work Performance Regulations, which has paved way for the party to participate in an all-party government.
