Kathmandu, October 17

CPN-UML General Secretary Shankar Pokhrel’s Facebook post, calling people to vote for him in the November elections, has turned controversial among social media users.

He has been found using the cover picture of the Nepali Congress manifesto issued for the 2017 elections.

Pokhrel’s secretariat says the two pictures matching is just a coincidence. However, apparently, the old sketch used by the Nepali Congress has been copied by him directly.

“We have a dedicated team to prepare publishing materials. The post might have matched with the Congress picture as they were unaware of it,” Pokharel’s personal secretary Saroj Regmi says.

After criticism, Pokhrel deleted the post without any comment.
