General Secretary of the CPN (UML) Madhav Kumar Nepal on Saturday said the election environment would already have been created by now if the eight parties had agreed to replace Koirala by another person after he failed to hold constituent assembly polls by mid-June.

Speaking at a training session of the leading party cadres in Dolakha district, Nepal said Koirala would be responsible for all the failures if constituent assembly election does not take place in November.

Nepal allegorically said Koirala as a Prime Minister was on the driver’s seat and he would be responsible for any accident while moving in the path to the CA.

He also claimed that no other parties in the government and the parliament were serious towards holding the election. “It is as if only the UML needs CA polls,” he added.

Nepal has more vocal in criticising Koirala since his return from New Delhi. Media reports had then said Indian establishment had hinted Nepal as an alternative to Koirala.
