I don't think he is stepping down either. He is trying to evade further risks to his power or to say it accurately he will maintain the status quo at least. The same way any single leader can't be the prime minister just because Gyane picks him for the post unless the former wants to risk his neck from Maoists. Situation is a bit more complex. It's not the last year anymore. There must be consenus from all the parties including Maoists for the post of prime minister. The parties can't run away from the contituent assembly promise they made with Maoists on 12 points understanding. If things works, it will work out for the best. Otherwise, the country is heading for the worst. Soon, it might be not only state of emergency but also full milatary rule like in Burma. Nobody will dare to breathe openly. Gyane is a cold blooded murderer. He might have hidden under the hood so far but everything will come out slowly and surely. After all, he wants that latthak Paras to carry on his legacy. What can you expect from him? Think about it.
