Nepal shouldn’t get too close to India at the cost of China: Maoist party members

The Deputy Secretary-General of CPN-MC, Janardan Sharma, accused Prachanda of playing double games. “You asked me to oppose any non-party member being considered for the President’s position and I complied, much against my own belief,” he said. “But in the end, a Congress person was elected.”

Sharma also indirectly accused the PM of backing people in the party who acted against him during his tenure as a minister.

The participants of the meeting told The Indian Express that Prachanda continued to come under fire for promoting his daughter in politics at the cost other senior leadership.

Earlier, Sharma had suggested that the senior leaders, at least one-third of them, must be ready to vacate their positions to pave for younger leadership. “I’ m ready to be the first one”, he had said .

The committee members also demanded the resignation of the Deputy Prime Minister Narayan Kaji Shrestha over the alleged cases of corruption.
