Nepal’s Maoists quit government on Friday, June 20, 2008 as the interim government headed by Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala did not pave way for constituting the new government, even after tasting defeat at the hands of the Maoists two months ago.
Dev Gurung, senior Maoists and former minister revealed on Friday that they have left the government. The former minister further remarked that they have been compelled to submit their resignations because the prime minister is not interested in giving up his power.

The Maoist ministers collectively threw their resignations at a meeting of the seven parties, after power-sharing talks broke down once again. Former minister Dev Gurung added that the elections were held two months ago but there is a conspiracy to prolong the impasse and they hold PM Koirala responsible fro the deadlock.
The Maoists of Nepal dominate the constitutional assembly elected in April that ended monarchy in Nepal. The Maoists and the Centrist Nepali Congress headed by Koirala have been unable to decide the first President of the Himalayan nation. Koirala himself has been coveting for the post of the first President. The Maoists however intend to see former rebel and head of Communist Party of Nepal, Prachanda as the President of Nepal.
