KATHMANDU: CPN-UML Vice Chairman Bamdev Gautam is attending party’s long awaited Central Committee meeting taking place at the Prime Minister and party Chairman KP Oli’s official residence in Baluwatar, Kathmandu.
According to Vice President Gautam’s secretariat, Gautam decided to attend the party meeting after he got a letter inviting him to attend the meeting as the Vice Chairman of the party.
Earlier, after the Supreme Court’s March 7 verdict annulling erstwhile ruling Nepal Communist Party (NCP) and also reviving CPN-UML and CPN-Maoist Center as two parties as on June 16, 2018, UML Chairman KP Oli had dissolved the Central Committee and formed party’s 10th general convention organizing committee.
Like, party’s disgruntled Khanal-Nepal faction leaders, Gautam had been demanding that the newly formed general convention organizing committee should be dissolved and party committee’s should be revived as on May 16, 2018 status.
Vice President Gautam, on his meeting with PM Oli on May 16 this year, had urged party Chairman Oli to convene party’s Standing Committee Meeting at the earliest.
Khanal-Nepal faction has also been demanding that party committee’s should be revived on May 16 status.
However, leader Madhav Kumar Nepal has stated that he will not participate in today’s meeting. The Thursday’s meeting of the leaders of the Khanal-Nepal faction decided not to join the Central Committee meeting today.
