Nepalese President Ram Baran Yadav on Monday gave the political parties one week to form a consensus government, or he would impose a majority government, news reports said. The President also requested that the government of Prime Minister Jhalanath Khanal, who stepped down on Saturday, stay on as caretaker until a consensus government was formed. If a consensus fails to form by August 21, Yadav said he would use his constitutional right to call for an election in the parliament to form a majority government, according to a report of the German Press Agency "DPA"
