A meeting of the ruling coalition has started at the Prime Minister’s official residence in Baluwatara.

The meeting, which started some time ago, is attended by Prime Minister Deuba, senior Congress leader Ram Chandra Poudel, CPN-Maoist Central Committee Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal, CPN-Unified Socialist Party Chairman Madhav Kumar Nepal and Janata Samajwadi Party leader Baburam Bhattarai and few other leaders from the coalition.

While Prime Minister Deuba is preparing to table the MCC in tomorrow’s meeting of the House of Representatives, the leaders of the coalition have said that today’s meeting will be decisive and final. If there is no agreement on MCC approval in today’s meeting, Deuba can break the alliance with the resignation of the Speaker and move ahead with cooperation with UML, said the Congress leaders. Saying that Prachanda and Nepal had betrayed him, the Congress leaders reached Balkot in the morning and met UML Chairman Oli.

Though there is no consensus in the alliance, Congress has stated that it will table the MCC in tomorrow’s parliament meeting.
