KATHMANDU: The intra-party wrangling in the main opposition Nepali Congress has reached a new height after two influential leaders boycotted Tuesday’s central working committee meeting.
Disgruntled leaders Ram Chandra Poudel and Krishna Prasad Sitaula, who had earlier objected to the central committee’s decision endorsing the amended statute, eschewed the party’s meeting.
The party then postponed the meeting until further notice.
The two leaders did not attend the meeting, party source said. However, party General Secretary Shashanka Koirala attended the meeting.
The disgruntled faction of the party has been demanding that the discipline committee and the election committee be formed on the basis of consensus.
Tuesday’s meeting was expected to chalk out the differences about the formation of discipline and election committees.
The displeased leaders have criticized the party president Sher Bahadur Deuba for taking unilateral moves.
