Deputy Prime Minister holding the portfolio of Home Minister Bijay Kumar Gacchedar told reporters that the President urged the political leaders to build a consensus on all key issues by November 22.
The opposition leaders claimed that the President would formally ask them to form a government of a national consensus with a timeline following the Interim Constitution if they failed to build a consensus by November 22, 2012.
Leader of UCPN-Maoist Amik Sherchan said that the President has no authority to ask the political parties to form a new government if the president were to follow the Interim Constitution; the president is a ceremonial and he needs to follow whatever the prime minister recommends him to do.
