Kathmandu, September 16

Nepal Communist Party senior leader Madhav Kumar Nepal has objected to the party General Secretary Bishnu Paudel’s official proposal on the formation of lower committees of the party formed after the merger between then CPN-UML and CPN-Maoist Centre.

When Paudel presented the proposal that he prepared in consultation with two chairpersons KP Sharma Oli and Pushpa Kamal Dahal during a recent Secretariat meeting, Nepal objected to the criteria for leadership selection. In particular, Nepal is more concerned about the criteria of seniority included in the proposal.

While Paudel proposed that individual’s seniority be a basis for the leadership selection, Nepal demands those who were in leadership positions of the UML or the Maoist Centre be given a chance to lead the party committees.

It has been learned that Nepal has garnered the support of majority leaders in the nine-member Secretariat. Nepal, Jhala Nath Khanal, Bamdev Gautam, Narayan Kaji Shrestha and Ram Bahadur Thapa are on one side whereas the other side includes Oli, Dahal, Paudel and Ishwar Pokharel.
