Kathmandu, March 23
Nepali Congress senior leader Krishan Prasad Sitaula has demanded that the party organise it general convention at the earliest.
Sitauala, who challenged party President Sher Bahadur Deuba for the party leadership two years ago, criticised Deuba for failing to lead the Nepali Congress to victory in the recent elections.
Speaking at a meeting of the party’s central committee, which started on Friday, the former home minister also criticised the party’s number two Ram Chandra Paudel. Sitaula said that he alerted the party to take stand on issues such as the blockade, appointment of the IGP and a democratic alliance to face the Left Alliance, but the leadership did not listen.
Sitaula said that the way forward was to organise the party’s general convention. “You may capture the party but by the time you do that, someone else would have captured the country,” he said.
