A meeting of the party leaders held at the Prime Minister's residence in Baluwatar also took stock of the party's preparations for the upcoming general convention.

"If the parties fail to reach an agreement within mid-October, they may not get a second opportunity," party spokesperson Agni Sapkota told media persons.

The meet reiterated that PM Baburam Bhattarai would not resign until political parties reached a package agreement, said Sapkota. nepalnews.com
