Maoists could not bring republic despite their 12 years long arm struggle in Nepal. Maoists had to work with Girija, UML and other parties to bring democracy (is it democracy?) in Nepal. They (all parties) asked Girija to be the PM of Nepal. He was just waiting for right time to resign and he did it. Now you Moists, it's your time to show what you can do in the country. However, I got no hope but still let's see what will happen. Prachand came out just like others (who are after The Chair) and that's about it. I ain't Girija supporter but he did what he suppose to do and I am happy with that.
