Not time to claim for vice-chair: Bhattarai

CPN-UML Secretary Yogesh Bhattarai has said he will claim for the same post in the upcoming 10 th general convention pointing that it is not time for him to claim for the post of vice-chair and there are many seniors below that post.

The party statute has provision for chair, one senior leader, one senior vice-chair, four vice-chairs, one general secretary, one deputy general secretary and seven secretaries. "There is no space for me to go for vice-chair now. There are some senior friends for posts below that. I will take appropriate decision within a couple of days after taking opinion of representative friends from across the country taking all that into consideration," Bhattarai told Setopati in a video interview on Tuesday.
