He told party leaders that helping PM Oli was his responsibility, sources quoted him as saying. He also highlighted that he had not done anything wrong, but was still blamed for everything.
Prachanda also added that he was offered power in return for refusing to go ahead with the merger with then UML. He told members he didn’t accept the offer and went ahead with the party merger. He said that at this point in time, unity among party members was important.
According to a standing committee member, Prachanda has promised to form a committee in January to sort out the details of the merger.
