I won’t fight polls from Adhikari’s constituency: Gautam



KATHMANDU: Secretariat member of the Nepal Communist Party (NCP) Bamdev Gautam has said  a conspiracy is being hatched against him yet again.

Writing a Facebook status today, leader Gautam has said anti elements are hatching conspiracies against him over his participation in the funeral ceremony for late Tourism Minister Rabindra Adhikari in Pokhara.

“Conspiracies are afoot to taint my image yet again by misinterpreting my participation in the funeral ceremony of  late Rabindra Adhikari in Pokhara. Devastated by my beloved comrade Adhikari, I went to Pokhara to pay last respect to  Adhikari but my participation was misconstrued as my intention behind taking part in the by-elections from his constituency, dubbing it as ‘conspiratorial and insulting.”

Meanwhile, Gautam, on his Facebook, clarified that he would not take part in the elections from Adhikari’s constituency.

Taking part in the last rites in Pokhara, leaders Bamdev Gautam and Narayan Kaji Shrestha had draped party’s flag on Adhikari’s mortal remains while Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Defense Ishwor Pokharel had draped a national flag.

Adhikari had been cremated at Ramghat, Pokhara with state honors yesterday. Seven people including Adhikari had died in an Air Dynasty chopper crash in Taplejung on Wednesday.
