Nidhi made the comments after his party met with the Maoists — former insurgents — who hold the most seats in the assembly and are expected to lead the country's new government. The Maoists gave up their 10-year fight for a communist Nepal not long after, and the election of the assembly in April marked the culmination of the peace process with the former insurgents. The assembly is charged with governing Nepal while it rewrites the constitution. On Tuesday, 575 of its members were sworn in.
