This time, Nepal is a under grave crisis. Law and order is very poor. Everywhere there is strike, violence and uncertainty due to ineffective leadership. Of course this time is transition period and situation is not normal as before But at least parties and leaders should be serious. But they are enjoying with power and fighting for Ministry portfolio. No one want to lose ministry and every party need key ministry to affect CA poll. So they are fighting . Current leadership want to back the nation like the same system after 1990 to 2005. Now new new violence organization are emerging like JTTM , Forum so on and current leadership mainly Maoist are treating to these organization just like same before Congress did to Maoist. They are neglecting possiblity civil war and trying to make strong position in power. Nepali people need peace and stable system. But The current leaderships and party's activites do not work for peace seriouly.

Four parties tussle over plum portfolios

A meeting of the four major parties held Sunday morning to decide the make-up of future interim government ended inconclusively.

The meeting ended without any important decision as the leaders of the Nepali Congress (NC), CPN (UML), CPN (Maoist) and NC (Democratic) repeated their claims on important portfolios.

Smaller four parties were invited for an eight-party meeting at 10 am. However, as the major four parties failed to reach consensus on distribution of portfolios, the eight-party meeting is uncertain today.

The leaders of smaller parties have gathered at the Prime Minister's official residence in Baluwatar while the leaders of the top four parties have left the venue.

The NC has been claiming senior deputy prime minister along with plum portfolios like finance, defence and home while the Maoists are adamant on their demand for deputy prime minister and home ministry and the UML wants finance ministry. NC-D has also demanded four ministries currently held by it.

The four parties, however, agreed that other four smaller parties will be given single portfolios each. nepalnews.com ia Mar 25 07
