Kathmandu: After resisting a year-long fierce battle by the Maoists to topple his coalition government, Nepal’s embattled Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal finally announced his resignation Wednesday in a televised address to the nation.
Blaming the opposition Maoist party for the failure of his 13-month-old government to promulgate a new constitution in time and restore peace, the 57-year-old Communist leader said though he still enjoyed majority support in parliament, yet he was resigning from Wednesday to pave the way for consensus among the parties.
