KATHMANDU: Prime Minister and Chairman of the CPN-UML KP Oli has held three-hour-long talks with UML leaders Ghanashyam Bhusal and Yogesh Bhattarai.
In the discussion held at the Prime Minister’s official residence in Baluwatar Thursday night with Bhusal and Bhattarai – both close to the disgruntled Madhav Nepal faction — Prime Minister Oli emphasized making the party intact.
Leaders Bhusal and Bhattarai, meanwhile, proposed PM Oli take the party back to May 16, 2018.
PM Oli, however, maintained silence on the issue.
Before meeting with PM Oli, Bhattarai and Bhusal held talks with Finance Minister Bishnu Paudel.
It should be noted that Paudel also had talks with UML leaders Surendra Pandey and Gokarna Bista – both close to the Madhav Nepal faction — on Thursday.
Finance Minister Paudel had proposed them form a task force to settle the party dispute.
Meanwhile, President Bidya Devi Bhandari also held talks with UML senior leader Madhav Nepal to resolve the dispute within the party on Thursday.
