With the Maoists holding 238 - nearly 40 percent - of the seats in the 601-member parliament, the leading party might face an embarrassment if all its allies do not come to its support and it has to seek a vote to pass the policies.

Another opposition party, the Rastriya Janashakti Party, Friday said the policies and programmes of the communist-led government were no different from those tabled by earlier governments. The proof would be in the implementation, RJP deputy chief and former finance minister Prakash Chandra Lohani said.

Even the ruling party's biggest ally, the Nepali Congress that has 112 MPs, is not fully supportive of the new policies.

Its youth wing Friday criticised the document for the absence of youth-oriented programmes, and said it would seek the inclusion of pro-youth policies.
