Speaking at the orientation of the Tamuwan State Committee of the Maoist party, Dahal said the party should take responsibility for the present situation of the country and should not quit the government.
Bakham Singh Gurung, Kaski district secretary, said Dahal told the participants that his party would not bow to the opposition pressure though he would continue efforts to forge consensus.
"The party faces the challenge of managing the country under any circumstances," Gurung quoted Dahal as saying, "The party cannot quit the government in such a situation."
"The keys of the government cannot be handed over either to the Nepali Congress or to the CPN-UML. One cannot get the government by crying or through threat," a participant quoted Dahal as saying.
Dahal directed his cadres to be prepared for the polls saying the Maoist-led government would hold either the Constituent Assembly or the parliamentary elections.
