KATHMANDU, JUL 08 - Bowing down to pressure from several quarters to comply for polls, the CPN-Maoist has formed a five-member talks team led by party Chairman Mohan Baidya to hold dialogue with the members of the High Level Political Committee (HLPC) and the government. Besides Chairman Badya, the talks team comprises of party Vice Chairman CP Gajurel, General Secretary Ram Bahadur Thapa, Secretary Dev Gurung and leader Netra Bikram Chand. The CPN-Maoist formed the talks team after the major four political parties decided to adopt maximum flexibility on the Maoist demands of holding a round-table conference, increasing the number of seats under the proportional representation system in the upcoming Constituent Assembly (CA) polls, among other issues. Speaking at the press conference today, Baidya said his party had formed a talks team to hold dialogue with the HLPC and the government. However, he ruled out the possibility of holding Constituent Assembly election on Nov 19 as declared earlier. "We have formed the talks team showing maximum flexibility, however, we see no possibility of CA polls on Nov 19," Baidya said. The CPN-Maoist has already said that scrapping the 25-point presidential decree issued on March 14 that paved the way for the formation of the present government was the party’s minimum condition for talks .
