One: The government will be formed by the Maoists but they will have to immediately start army integration, dissolve YCL's paramilitary structure and return confiscated properties. We have no qualms about who will lead from their side.

Two: If the Maoists think they cannot do this now, they will have to join the government under the leadership of the Nepali Congress.

Three: If the Maoists do not want to join the government under Nepali Congress, they will have to stay in the opposition.

Four: If none of these options are acceptable to them, they can salute Madhav Nepal, continue with his government and help establish law and order.

What Dr Koirala says now? 1. M.K. Nepal has resigned. 2. Maoists have refused to anything on army integration and dismantling their other armed apparatus like YCL.

It will be shame if NC capitulates and supports the formation of Maoist goverment. God save Nepal from becoming another North Korea or Afganistan. Maoists have taken Nepal pretty close there anyway.
