Oli, Prachanda hold one-to-one talks



KATHMANDU: Chairman duo of the ruling Nepal Communist Party (NCP) KP Oli and Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ are holding talks at Baluwatar before the Secretariat meeting slated for 3 pm on Saturday afternoon.

Earlier this morning, five top leaders including Prachanda, Madhav Kumar Nepal, Jhalanath Khanal, Bamdev Gautam and Narayankaji Shrestha had a discussion at Prachanda’s residence in Khumaltar.

Home Minister Ram Bahadur Thapa ‘Badal’ was absent at Khumaltar’s discussion, it is learned.

Similarly, Oli discussed with leaders including Defense Minister Ishwor Pokharel, General Secretary Bishnu Poudel and Chief Advisor Bishnu Rimal at his official residence at Baluwatar.

Earlier, Prime Minister Oli, Dahal and senior leader Madhav Kumar Nepal on Thursday had agreed to take the intra-party wrangling to the Central Committee meeting after the tripartite meeting made no headway.

However, in less than 24 hours, the NCP canceled the decision and decided to call the party’s Secretariat meeting.
