NC amends election directives after resignation of Min Bishwokarma

Nepali Congress (NC) has amended election directives ahead of the ward convention after central member Min Bishwokarma resigned expressing reservations pointing it does not guarantee fair representation of Dalits.

It has been amended following discussion among NC president Sher Bahadur Deuba, Senior Leader Ram Chandra Paudel, Joint General Secretary Prakash Sharan Mahat, central member Minendra Rijal and others at Baluwatar Thursday. It now guarantees a Dalit at the ward committee and a Dalit constituency representative.
