Kathmandu, April 27
Former prime minister and CPN-UML senior leader Madhav Kumar Nepal says he does not agree with the CPN-Maoist Centre’s demand that the two parties should unite on the basis of equality in terms of the number of leaders in the new party’s organisation.
“If the UML has 200 leaders [in a committee], why should they also have 200? What is its basis?” Nepal tells Onlinekhabar in an interview, “Let’s look at people’s support and our organisations.”
Likewise, the leader says he is not ready to include some leaders never elected in the party into the new party’s structures.
Nepal is of the view that the two parties discuss in detail and settle positions of all leaders in the party, but such management should be for the period before the next general convention only.
“We should not leave anyone’s future insecure. Everyone’s management should be taken care of,” he says, adding, “But, we cannot assure who will be elected the chairperson in the next general convention.”
“We can say nothing about the general convention. Who can say that any person cannot contest the polls?” he questions.
