Dr Bhattarai rejects Dahal’s offer to join NCP



KATHMANDU: Chairman of Socialist Party Nepal Dr Baburam Bhattarai on Thursday turned down ruling Nepal Communist Party (NCP) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal’s offer to join NCP.

Dahal had on Wednesday asked SPN leaders Dr. Bhattarai, Upendra Yadav and Ashok Rai to join NCP saying that these leaders were merely wasting their time on minor stuff.

Meanwhile, on Thursday, Dr Bhattarai took to Twitter and in a sarcastic manner turned down Dahal’s offer. He, instead, alleged Dahal of being a mere tool ‘trapped inside the cage of KP Sharma Oli’.
