Listen to the interview of Girija in BBC. He has clearly said he is not in the republic. The demand of peoples movement is constitution assembly to Loktantrik Ganatanta Nepal. Listening this interview again , I hardly believe him that he will solve the crisis. Following the history, he try his best to craet a condition to protect the King if he survives. Ram Chandra podel is to revise the constitution. He is not in faviir to rewrite via constitution assembly. http://www.bbc.co.uk/nepali/highlights/story/2005/12/051228_sundaypackage.shtml
