KATHMANDU, Dec 18: Vice-Chairman of Unified CPN (Maoist) Dr. Baburam Bhattarai Saturday has said the main responsibility of parties at present is to draft a people´s constitution and maintain political stability.



Constitution drafting, economic development and ending poverty are the major tasks, he said inaugurating a newly built building of consumer committee at Kathmandu Metropolitan City-15.



Narrow-minded and egoist thinking as well as power hunger has led to political instability, he said. "If this continues the new constitution cannot be drafted within Jestha 14. Therefore, massive public pressure is needed to bring leadership in the right place," the former Finance Minister said.



"At a time when we haven´t reinstated the old feudal house, the pushing and shoving among political parties to sleep in the big room has invited the risk of plunging the country into abyss," said Dr. Bhattarai.



He also said that the Constituent Assembly established after the sacrifice of lives of thousands of people has been like "a coconut in monkey´s hands´.

On the occasion, Maoist Politburo member Hisila Yami honoured the people who contributed for the construction of the building.
