again.. until 2002 the RNA was fighting the Maoist under the leadership of elected PMs. Let's not forget RNA were fighting to protect democracy at the time. The PM at the time had all the military options and was using it as he thought was necessary. Girja, Sher bahadur all used RNA to fright Maoists. but the maoist could not be defeated. the fact that king commanded the RNA, was never an issue during all the year of democracy and Maoist insurgency. I see how removing king, gives us any advanage to defeat Maoists.
