At that meeting, Deuba had replied that he would think on the issue only after the party’s parliamentarian party election.  Deuba’s bottom line is to become the PM and also to keep the president’s post for the party.  When Deuba and Prachanda have claimed the PM’s post at once, the present ruling coalition may face a crisis.  On the other hand, UML, although has not claimed for joining the government, is trying its best to break the present ruling alliance. UML has kept open all options with all the parties.  People’s News Monitoring Service
