KATHMANDU: Chairman of the Rastriya Prajatantra Party Kamal Thapa has objected to proposed government plan to bring the local level under the control of the province government.

Commenting on the government’s proposed minimum common program on Friday, RPP Chair criticized the plan saying it is wrong and objectionable.
