Mr. Poudel has explained that the major functions of CA members are to write a new constitution and cast votes whenever required for choosing a Prime Minister but they are not doing so.
On September 24, 2010, speaking to party activists and journalists at a program in Parsa in the wake of CPN-UML and UCPN-Maoist reaching a four-point agreement, officiating Prime Minister Madhav Nepal, also a senior CPN-UML leader has said that the left parties will not form a coalition to break the current deadlock at least the CPN-UML will not be a part of such a coalition according to ‘The Himalayan Times’ and ‘Myrepublica.com’ of September 24, 2010.
Meanwhile, spokesman for NC Arjun Narshing KC has said his party has serious concern over the so-called three-point agreement and four-point agreement and over asking the House Speaker for starting an election to a new Prime Minister afresh; the deals they have reached are for making a new Prime Minister rather than addressing the current political challenges to the country according to nepalnews.com.
