Home Minister Krishna Prasad Sitaula and Krishna Bahadur Mahara, heads of the government and the Maoist negotiating teams respectively signed the Code of Conduct.

Maoists should not take you for a ride: BJP President
In its first official reaction on Nepal after the Seven Party Alliance (SPA) came to power last month India's Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)'s top leadership on Friday cautiously welcomed recent developments in Nepal. As he met a four-member political delegation from Nepal, BJP President Rajnath Singh welcomed the installation of the SPA government in Nepal and expressed hope that peace and normalcy would soon be restored in India's Himalayan neighbor. Yet he expressed concern when he said, “The BJP would not appreciate a situation where Nepal loses its true identity and buckles under the Maoist pressure.” And he urged the SPA government, to "ensure that it is not taken for a ride by the Maoists." He further told the delegation at BJP's Central Office in New Delhi, "Any peace talks or power sharing with the Maoists would be futile and dangerous if they did not shun violence by laying their arms completely.” BJP Vice President Bal Apte was also present there. The delegation was led by former Foreign Minister and Nepali Congress leader Chakra Bastola. Other members in it included Arjun Narsingh KC and Shekhar Koirala and Delhi-based South Asia Foundation's Rahul Barua. Since arriving here on April 22 for a roundtable seminar they have been holding political parleys. The BJP strongman further said, according to a statement, “Though the Maoists have declared a ceasefire and say they are willing to join the peace dialogue they are busy with extortion and recruitment to the ‘people’s liberation army’. "Their attitude has generated suspicion and distrust that they want to use the ceasefire period to consolidate their position, as they have done twice before.” Interestingly, referring to the Indo-Nepal Treaty of 1950 Singh said that the treaty is a crux to Indo-Nepal bilateral relations and added, "It should continue in spite of pressure from certain quarters to write it off.” Yet he hoped that the SPA government would be able to deal with the complex political situation.
