The indefinite general strike called by Unified Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (UCPN-M) with the purpose that alteration and leading the government, stroked the life of people resentfully, nationwide. Maoists has celebrated the 121st May Day 2010, carrying much supporter was from out of Kathmandu valley to sustain their strike which already was announced by them.
Maoists mainly demanded the resignation of Prime-Minister Madhab Kumar Nepal and build the government leading by Puspa Kamal Dahal, the Maoist leader, with the claim that they are the largest party in Constituent Assembly, CA election, superficially. On the other hand, government, except the Maoist, claim that there is the legal way to hold the government not from the demonstration on the street with innocent people but from the legal process, which can be the proposal of suspicion in parliament or through the negotiation and consensus among the political parties for the completion of constitution. Meanwhile, the government could not believe the Maoist commitments because of their reciprocal activities, capturing the public and personal properties and their mutual armed as well as the bi-armed force Young Communist League, YCL.
Condition of people and their livelihood in Kathmandu is getting worse because of strike, and the demonstrator are also getting sick with the lack of proper accommodation are from outside of capital and leaving the spot gradually. In some places, there are also anti-strike agitations by local residential because of indefinite strike and obligations of donation with threaten that causing the strike less effective is a challenge for Maoist.

There is also compulsion of support and participate in demonstration to Maoist which cause dead of an old man in Dang, who was compel to go in anti-government demonstration. On the other hand, government clearly noted that, Prime-Minister should not resign with the pressure by street and such hullabaloo, but in negotiation and consensus through proper way and holding negotiation with Maoist.
