On the other hand, Pushpa Kamal Dahal "Prachanda", leader of the Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist Centre, said Oli was an "autocrat" and someone who failed to act as per the spirit of the peace process and the Constitution. He said, "I had told her that we are ready for physical verification, and was hoping that she would refer it to the House to formally elect him as the prime minister."
