Dahal, however, did not divulge details about whether the current government would be transformed into a unity government or that there would be a new
leadership. Speaking to reporters in Dhanghadhi on Sunday, Dahal said only a national unity can deal with the adverse situation facing the country.
“After a broad agreement on the issues, there can be discussions whether this government should continue as unity government or a new government be formed,” Dahal said, adding that the UCPN (Maoist) had been in favour of a national unity government since the day the constitution was promulgated.
“Discussions are underway with Nepali Congress regarding the formation of a national unity government,” he said, without divulging details about the talks with the main opposition.
Despite dissatisfaction in the party over performances of the government, Maoist leaders say chances of it withdrawing support to the government in immediate future are slim. Even Dahal has made remarks in public that performances of government as dismal. Questions were raised in the party over performances of some Maoist ministers who along with the senior coalition CPN-UML share vital posts in the government.

Dahal is said to have told NC leaders about the possible change in government after the party’s general convention in the first week of March. The NC leaders are said to against the change in government in immediate future.
