The ruling NCP top-notch leaders will dwell on the separate political proposals submitted by chairman duo KP Oli and Pushpa Kamal Dahal at the Secretariat meeting.
According to sources, both the factions led by Oli and Dahal-Nepal, are prepared to put-forth their bottom-line as the party is heading towards a decisive juncture today.
It is learnt that five secretary members – Pushpa Kamal Dahal, Jhala Nath Khanal, Madav Nepal, Bamdev Gautam and Spokesperson Narayan Kaji Shrestha – have prepared a joint written response to Oli’s proposal.
Executive Chairman Dahal will present the responses to the 38-page long political dossier tabled by Oli at the Secretariat meeting held on November 28.
