Koirala vows to bring NC back to its pre-election form
Nepali Congress president Girija Prasad Koirala has claimed that he will
bring the party back to its pre-election form within just three months.
Speaking to party workers in his hometown Biratnagar on Monday, Koirala
said he was confident that the party would regain its lost strength within
that timeline. In the meantime, the octogenarian leader threw a clear hit
that he was not yet ready to transfer leadership to what is known within
the Congress party as second generation, saying he would not retire unless
the party regained its old form.
The NC president also asked the cadres to resolve internal differences and
focus on rebuilding the party organisation.
Meanwhile, NC central leader and GP Koirala's close aide Shekhar Koirala
has said his party is not interested in toppling the Maoist-led
government.
"Even as the Maoists are accusing us of trying to topple the government,
NC will not make such a move because there is very little time left for
drafting a constitution and our focus will be on timely drafting of the
constitution," reports quoted him as saying at a programme in Biratnagar.
He, however, said if the current coalition government falls apart due to
its own failures, NC would be ready to take charges. nepalnews.com mk Oct
