President Ram Baran Yadav has initiated discussions with political parties at a time of political fluidity, raising hopes that there may be an agreement. A few days ago, there was controversy over the president's remark that he had a 'guardian' role. Some criticised him for having political ambitions. He has told the prime minister that he is aware of the limits on presidential powers, and will not overstep his mandate even if the constitution is not written on time. If those who have executive powers fulfill their obligations responsibly, there is no need for them to be paranoid about the president's remarks.
