NC won’t toe the line of UML or Maoist Center, says Gagan Thapa

KATHMANDU: Nepali Congress (NC) General Secretary Gagan Kumar Thapa has stated that the NC will not toe the line of CPN-UML or CPN (Maoist Center).

Thapa was referring to the decision of the party’s anti-establishment faction, led by Dr. Shekhar Koirala, to stake a claim for government formation in Koshi Province with the support of CPN-UML.

NC member Kedar Karki submitted his claim for government formation on Thursday after the NC decided to back Indra Angbo of CPN (Maoist Center) to form government in Koshi Province.

Addressing the 2nd convention of the Gorkha District Committee of NC on Friday, Thapa said that they will strive to enhance the NC’s reputation instilling confidence in the party among the new generation.
