The chairman of CPN-Maoist,�the breakaway faction of UCPN-Maoist, has rejected the government's proposal for holding talks to resolve the ongoing political crisis in Nepal.
Mohan Vaidya said, his party will not sit for talks�with the president or the government's High Level Political Mechanism�formed to guide and direct the election government.
The hard-liner Maoist leader said that chances of coming to negotiating table have faded away after none of them showed concern towards his party's demands.
The fringe parties led by CPN-Maoist have been demanding dissolution of the present Chief Justice-led government and scrapping the 11-point deal signed by major political parties while forming the election government in March.
"We have demanded the removal of the current government, we won't sit for talks�with them," Vaidya said today. �
Meanwhile, Communication Minister�Madhav Prasad Poudel�has said that the government would announce the polls date soon as all the preparations for the Constituent Assembly (CA) elections were completed.
Speaking at a function today, Poudel said the present government would be irrelevant if elections were not conducted by mid-December, as it was formed with the mandate of conducting the�long-delayed polls.
