CPN-UML Secretary Bishnu Podel has said that his party would not join the Sushil Koirala government even if it is offered the home ministry. “The chances of UML joining the government has now ended as the Nepali Congress (NC) breached the agreement forged with our party,” Poudel said while speaking at a programme organised in the Capital on Saturday (Feb 15). He added that the NC had betrayed UML by breaching the agreement.

 

Poudel also said that his party's support to the NC-led government would depend on the government's performance. "Our support will continue if the government does good work. If not, the support will be withdrawn," said he.
