21 August, CPN (Maoist Centre) Chair Pushpa Kamal Dahal has expressed his confidence that the leaders including Dr Baburam Bhattarai, Mohan Baidya and Netra Bikram Chand, who had left the party, would return to the mother party sooner or later.

While speaking in a programme organized to welcome ex-party leaders Ram Chandra Jha and Ram Kumar Sharma in the capital city Sunday, Chair Dahal urged other leaders for the unity, reasoning it was people’s expectation.

Leaders Jha and Ram Kumar Sharma left the Dr Bhattarai-led Naya Shakti Party.

Chair Dahal further argued that Dr Bhattarai has adequate knowledge but lacks discretion, resulting in flopped leadership.

In another context, Chair Dahal who is also the former Prime Minister shared that his party now has revived the agenda of directly elected executive head of the State as it would contribute to political stability in the country.

Speaking in the programme, leader Jha said that Dr Bhattarai lacked political agenda, so failed to have clear roadmap to run the party.

Similarly, leader Sharma said Dr Bhattarai could not meet their aspiration from the new party.

Present on the occasion were leader Narayan Kaji Shrestha and Ram Bahadur Thapa, among others. RSS
