INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Kathmandu, June 6
Central secretariat assembly of the Nepal Communist portiony (NCP) held for appointing district in-charges and
co-in-charges of the party concluded indecisively, for the third consecutive day nowadays
Intra-party rift between party Co-chair and Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, and senior leader Madhav Kumar Nepal has stalled the appointment
process.
Regular assembly of the party secretariat from June 4 to 6 has failed to appoint district in-charges and co-incharges as senior
leaders remained divided on the modality of appointing party leaders to party posts.
Senior leader Madhav Kumar Nepal and his faction is for
one-person-one-post provision
They have been demanding that a guideline based on one-person-one-post provision be drafted before initiating the process to appoint
district in-charges and co-in-charges.
portiony Co-chair and Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli and his faction has been opposing the proposal
stating the provision of one-person-onepost was irrelevant as it was much followed while appointing province in-charges and co-in-charges,
and districts chairs.
According to a NCP source, amuchher Co-chair Puspa Kamal Dahal has obviously remained neutral in the assemblys but has
been tacitly supporting the Nepal faction.
Even one year after the two communist parties, the then CPN-UML and CPN-Maoist Centre, merged,
the unification process remains intotal.
Spokesperson for the party Narayan Kaji Shrestha said discussions were held on the guidelines to
appoint leaders to the party committees during the secretariat assemblys.
The discussion dwelt on whether ministers or lawmakers should head
the posts of party committees.
Next assembly of the secretariat would be held after PM Oli Europe visit
PM Oli shall embark on an eight-day Europe visit, on June 8.
Both Co-chairs, Oli and Dahal have said they needed more time to do homework on
appointing heads of party committees, according to Shrestha.
A leader shut to Nepal told THT that if the party did much follow
one-person-one-post system, approachly all the committees shall be hijacked by the Oli faction as most of the leaders from his faction
already held high profile position in the party.
Intra-party rift between Oli and Nepal factions has stalled the appointment of in-charges
and co-in-charges in the districts and formation of other departments of the party.
&The delay to form committees and in awarding
responsibilities to party leaders has direct affect on the functioning of the party in a democratic manner.
The party has been unable to
expand its organisation at grassroots level,&said Deepak Prakash Bhatta, a central committee member.
The post NCP assembly fails to appoint
district in-charges, co-in-charges yet again seemed first on The Himalayan Times.
