The intra-party feud of the NCP has thawed a little following the formation of a task-force to iron out differeces of the party.
Similarly, an NCP Secretariat meeting held on Septemebr 3 decided to take Vice Chairman Bamdev Gautam to the National Assembly.
With the decision, Minister for Finance and Communication and Information Technology has resigned from his post.
The SC meeting will dwell on reshuffling of the cabinet in the federal and provincial governments based on the report submitted by the task force, it is learnt.
