Finance Minister and senior Maoist leader Dr. Baburam Bhattarai has deplored the ruling coalition partner Unified Marxist Leninist (UML) saying his party was unable to fulfill its wishes. “We have met each of their demands but they are still dissatisfied,” he said, adding that UML was given ‘plum portfolios in the cabinet and even their leader who had been defeated from two constituencies in election was made chief of constitutional committee.’
“But our friends are still complaining,” he said, addressing a party function in Panauti of Kavre district on Saturday. Referring to UML leaders’ comments that the Maoists’ People’s Liberation Army (PLA) should hand over weapons to national army, Dr. Bhattarai said that in the absence of PLA and their weapons, there is danger of counter-revolution.“Gyanendra Shah (former King) is still conspiring. The UML and Nepali Congress should understand this reality,” he added.
