Read this news from an Indian media site:

With only four days left for the formal abolition of monarchy, the deadlock over the formation of a new Nepal government finally ended Saturday with Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala inviting the former Maoist guerrillas, who emerged as the largest single party after last month's election, to form the new government.

After an almost month-long battle for power between the prime minister and the former insurgents, the growing pressure from other parties, his own followers and the international community finally made Koirala concede defeat and invite Maoist supremo Prachanda to form the next government.

A bitter feud was growing between the Maoists and Koirala with the prime minister contemplating to cling on to power for the next two years, till the newly elected constituent assembly drafted a new constitution.
