If the NC and the UML stay away, all the rest will have to come together to cross the 50% mark. It might end up a Maoist and Madhesi Alliance government. Or it might end up a minority government by the Maoists propped up by the rest. The non Maoist parties might go for that to have a better shot at the parliamentary elections when they are held in about two years.
I would urge the Madhesi Alliance to not fall for that logic. Joining the government would be the best way to:
- Ensure a Madhesh state.
- Hold respectful peace talks with the armed Madhesi groups.
- Do good work on the constitution.
- Send the message out to the Madhesi masses that power is possible.
- Do work on census and citizenship.

When the Maoists Take Over Nepal TIME Not so long ago, few in Nepal believed Pushpa Kamal Dahal actually existed. The Maoist guerrilla leader was a creature of myth — no one knew what he looked like, or in which mountain fastness he hid, or quite how he and his fighters, ragtag and ill-equipped, had managed to plunge this Himalayan nation into a decade-long civil war that claimed 13,000 lives. .... not only a man of flesh and blood, but of suits and expensive pens ......

Interview With Baburam Bhattarai Kantipur Dr Baburam Bhattarai has emerged as the real leader of this country after the Constituent Assembly (CA) polls. ..... He thinks the Maoists have now taken upon their shoulders a greater responsibility, that of restructuring the country and steering it onto the track of economic prosperity. ...... He argues that the CPN (Maoist) has changed the country’s ground realities. ...... All the political parties that have participated in the CA polls will join the government. ..... Our intention is to establish a presidential system. ...... We must reach a political consensus because the constitution would need to be amended to set up a presidential system. ...... The first sitting of the CA will declare this country a federal republic. ........ other political commitments such as the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, rehabilitation of displaced persons and revamping and integration of the security forces. ...... The media and the elite missed the picture. As a result, the CA results surprised many. ........ we have achieved more than what we expected to. ....... I personally visited 22 districts and assessed the situation three weeks before the CA polls. I could foresee a massive wave rising in our support. Unfortunately, the media saw things the opposite way. ....... It may take at least 10-15 years ..... We cannot think of rapid economic growth sans political stability. ..... During this interim period, it would be difficult to think of economic prosperity. We can only think of economic growth in the post-CA period. ...... we need external support for technology and skills. We need foreign investments ....... China eliminated the feudal system during Mao’s regime. It established a solid foundation for economic growth. ....... When you inject new technology after the foundation for economic growth has been established, you can achieve such development. We don’t have such a foundation now. Once we restructure the state and involve the private sector, it will be possible to achieve rapid economic growth. ....... We can’t think of developing this country in the absence of domestic and foreign investments. ....... we recognize the legitimacy of management and the participation of labor in management. ...... We don’t want to encourage assembly industries. Business activities should raise productivity and generate employment. ...... The state will play the role of facilitator. The state cannot intervene in business activities. It will encourage investors to raise productivity and generate employment opportunities. ...... We have to, at all costs, restructure the bureaucracy and the judiciary as they have always been tools of the monarchy. ....... We want to reform the bureaucracy and other sectors in a democratic manner. ...... The strength of the security forces after the two are combined would be roughly over 100,000. ...... Now the CPN (Maoist) has established itself as a communist party. We welcome committed communist cadres of the CPN-UML to our party. ....... The king has to quit Narayanhiti Palace immediately after we declare Nepal a republic.

Mahara for cooperation among parties after polls
Shock and awe Prashant Jha The Maoist landslide is a wake-up call to the Kathmandu media. Many thought the former rebels would be a distant third, with 15-20 seats in FPTP. Some argued that the Maoists would do better than the capital's conventional wisdom suggested, giving them about 30-40 seats. ...... To be fair, this has taken even the Maoists by surprise. Why did all of us get it so wrong? ..... the Kathmandu opinion-formers have been insular and disconnected from what is happening in the rest of the country ...... The Maoists had run a parallel state for ten years. They have the best organisation, and the most committed cadre which has been hard at work. ....... a possibility of the Deuba faction emerging stronger. ..... Lila Koirala in Janakpur, Mahesh Acharya and Shekhar Koirala in Morang, and Chakra Prasad Bastola in Jhapa voted out ...... The UML, particularly its top leadership, has been routed. ....... The Tarai results are only slowly trickling in, and it is difficult to interpret the Madhesi mandate so soon. The Maoists have done well in the pahadi pockets of Tarai. Smart selection of candidates, getting caste calculations right, and engaging constantly with the Dalit votebank has helped the rebels win some Madhesi seats as well. But the Madhesi parties, especially the MJF has taken the largest share. Brand recognition of the 'Forum', a relatively better organisation than TMLP and SP, established faces, support of Yadavs and Tharus in many constituencies in eastern Tarai helped Upendra Yadav's men. ..... With all three Madhesi parties already winning 20 seats, it is likely they will end up with more than 50-60 seats once the PR tally starts coming in. ..... India is in panic mode. From a policy high of seeing successful elections on the evening of April 10, New Delhi was 'depressed' the next day. Completely taken aback, the diplomats are in a tizzy. ...... Baburam Bhattarai, possibly in the running for the next PM
