Stepping down from what ? From the chair of the chairmanship or from the raj-gaddi of His majesty-ship ? Any agreement by SPA for less than a republic or a political mechanism for it (referendum with YES or NO on monarchy, Constituent Assembly with power to remove monarchy), if really happened, will be transient. It will hardly survive a day. The mass movement will continue. If SPA disapproved it, the Maoists will come in and lead it. Simple as that. Any agreement that does not satisfy the andolankari and the Maoists will never materialize. The movement has crossed a revolutionary threshold. Forget about compromise with monarchy. That kind of agreement will hardly survive a day. It's not the stepping down but only a clear-cut, total and unconditional surrender by the King will end the movement, nothing else will. Keep watching.
