Maoist Center Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ at a Standing Committee meeting of his party held at Paris Danda, Koteshwor, Tuesday afternoon informed about the likelihood of the Nepal faction joining the government. “As efforts to retain party unity continues, we will also join the government,” Prachanda quoted senior leader Nepal as saying.
