KATHMANDU: Lawmaker Krishna Bhakta Pokhrel formerly active in the CPN-UML’s disgruntled Nepal-Khanal faction has joined Prime Minister and party Chairman KP Oli’s camp from Saturday’s Parliamentary Party meeting held in Baluwatar, Kathmandu.

According to Baluwatar sources, lawmaker Pokhrel has self-criticized for joining Nepal-Khanal faction of the party and promised to work as per PM Oli’s vision.
