Sends Tremors Among Coalition Allies

Despite being touted as ‘historic,’ Nepali Congress (NC)’s four-day Mahasamiti meeting has concluded with a bag of contradictions. Much of the energy of delegates was spent on whether or not the party should forge an alliance in the upcoming elections. This debate has overshadowed the agenda of constitution amendment, the performance of the government and reform of party organisation. Mahasamiti has endorsed the three reports presented by vice president Purna Bahadur Khadka and general secretary duo – Gagan Thapa and Bishow Prakash Sharma. Whatever have been written in their reports, the party Central Committee has wielded power to modify them to suit the interest of the establishment.
