NCP Vice-Chair Gautam claims to unite party

Ruling Nepal Communist Party (NCP) Vice-chair Bamdev Gautam on Wednesday announced a national campaign for party unity.

He claimed that he would unite the party at any cost. He mentioned that as the party is still one in legal terms, all should join this campaign.

He also accused the two chairpersons — KP Sharma Oli and Pushpa Kamal Dahal — of trying to split the party. One faction is warning that it will halt the election while the other is claiming it will win a two-thirds majority, which is not right, Gautam said.

Sharing the previous election data, leader Gautam said the two parties together had won 4.2 million votes while NC alone had won 3 million votes, and argued that going to the election divided would lead to a loss.

He also said that the support of the people is essential to make the campaign successful while urging the second and third rung leaders of the party to join hands. Gautam said he wished that the HoR was restored.
