Imbibe Ethical Values

Recently, CPN-UML chairman and Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli laid the foundation of party's central office in Kirtipur Municipality. It is being constructed on 11 ropanis of land donated by owner of the Bhatbhateni supermarket chain Min Bahadur Gurung. Gurung also announced to construct the building. This news made headlines in major media outlets. The UML's move has drawn flak from media, intellectuals and even its workers for accepting generous donation from a controversial businessman. Even the UML Standing Committee member Binda Pandey expressed her dissatisfaction over the party's decision to accept the land donation from Gurung. However, Rajendra Gautam, the head of the party’s publicity department, has stated that Gurung has been a UML cadre for a long time and there is no harm in receiving a donation provided without a hidden bargaining.
