Nepali Congress General Secretary Shanshanka Koirala says resignation of the party leadership is not the solution to the problem his party is facing in the wake of its poor performance in recent elections.

In his exclusive interview with the RSS at his private residence in Gaindakot of Nawalparasi this morning, he called on party leaders and cadres to unite to face the post-election situation.

“The post-poll period in the country demands unity among the party leaders and cadres, not partition. The party will move ahead by preparing a new strategy after immense discussions at the centre,” he said.

Admitting that he was, in the capacity of party General Secretary, also responsible for the party’s defeat in the election, he said the Central Working Committee would review the results and take further steps to strengthen the party and regain its position.

He believed that change was necessary and attention should be given to make corrections in the allocation of party’s active membership.

Formation of the electoral alliance between the two big political parties and party’s organisation failing to work effectively were the main reasons behind the NC’s defeat in the elections, according to his views. There was no need to be disappointed by poll results though, he said.

“The NC has not finished, instead it has last opportunity for corrections and if this opportunity is grabbed, the party has a very bright future,” he claimed.
