NAWALPARASI, May 15 - Nepali Congress central leader and Constituent Assembly member-elect Dr Shashanka Koirala on Wednesday alleged that Maoists have prepared a tentative draft of the new constitution in New Delhi.

Koirala, who was felicitated by party members here on Wednesday on his victory in the CA poll from Nawalparasi-1, claimed that Indian leaders had informed him that Maoist leaders including Dr Babu Ram Bhattarai, were involved in preparing a tentative draft of the new constitution in New Delhi.

"My Indian political friends have informed me about the Maoist move," Koirala said while addressing his supporters.

Dr Koirala also accused international power centers of being in haste to see Maoists at the helm. "There is clear indication that once the Maoists assume power, even foreigners are wiling to support them," Dr Koirala said. "The Maoist-led government won't be as unruly as Maoists are acting now and will be stable."

Analyzing the pre-poll political situation, Dr Koirala revealed that his party "used" the Maoists to undermine CPN-UML but the policy affected his party in the election. 

His supporters criticized him for not being able to include a single Nepali Congress leader of the district to the proportional list of his party.  Koirala, however, accused the party leadership of showing nepotism and favoritism while selecting names in the proportional list.
