Gautam quits UML, to join CPN (Unified Socialist) if it adopts people's multiparty democracy

CPN-UML Vice-chairman Bam Dev Gautam quit the party and initiated discussion to join CPN (Unified Socialist) led by Madhav Kumar Nepal.

Sources close to Gautam claim that he will immediately join the new party if Nepal adopts people's multiparty democracy as the party's ideology. "He has resigned expressing dissatisfaction with the working style of Chairman KP Sharma Oli. He has quit UML as Oli failed in keeping the party united and could not be corrected," Gautam's press associate Bishwa Mani Subedi told Setopati.
