Congress will not contest elections under Deuba’s signature: Thapa
Nepali Congress General Secretary Gagan Thapa has claimed that the party will not contest the upcoming elections to the House of Representatives under the signature of the current President Sher Bahadur Deuba.
Stating that a new leadership will emerge from the special general convention, he said that the Congress will contest the elections under the signature of the newly elected president.
Nepali Congress has registered the party for the House of Representatives and National Assembly elections under the signature of President Sher Bahadur Deuba. Therefore, there are speculations that Deuba, who had entrusted Vice President Purna Bahadur Khadka with the responsibilities of acting party president, had returned to active politics with an intention to influence ticket distribution.
Meanwhile, he said that there is no alternative to special general convention in the Congress.
Thapa further said that the signature of Deuba submitted in the Election should be replaced once the new president is elected.
Youth leader Bam demands removal of PM’s chief personal secretary Shrestha
GenZ youth leader Rakshya Bam has demanded immediate removal of Prime Minister Sushila Karki's chief personal secretary Adarsha Kumar Shrestha following reports that he allegedly appointed his family members and relatives to positions within the Prime Minister’s Secretariat.
“The sacrifice made by GenZ youths for the development of the country has been wasted because of the people like the Prime Minister’s chief personal secretary who took advantage of the government formed in such a sensitive situation and appointed his family members and relatives to positions within the Prime Minister’s Secretariat,” Bam wrote on social media, adding, “The GenZ movement had not only opposed financial corruption but also moral corruption, nepotism, and favoritism."
Recalling the September 8 protest, Bam said, “We raised slogans in favor of good governance, transparency, and accountability. But Shrestha committed moral corruption by appointing his wife and other relatives to the Prime Minister’s Secretariat which is completely wrong.”
“We demanded immediate resignation of Adarsha Kumar Shrestha and revocation of all appointments made by him,” she said.
