Election UML’s only priority: UML secy

KATHMANDU: Secretary of CPN (UML) Bishnu Poudel has claimed that there was no dispute in the party regarding the Chief Justice-led interim election council.

However, a large number of CPN (UML) including senior leader Madhav Kumar Nepal and General Secretary Ishwor Pokhrel had vehemently criticized the formation of the CJ-led government.

Speaking at an interaction program organized by the Reporters Club in the capital today, Poudel claimed party’s internal dispute over the CJ-led government also ended with the Chief formation of Justice Khil Raj Regmi led Interim Election Council of Ministers.

Club’s Chairman Rishi Dhamala presided over the program.

Poudel said, “There is no dispute in the party about the CJ-led government. This is not time to engage in dispute. All leaders should go to people to test.”

He also said that the UML would go for fresh poll with an agenda to draft a democratic constitution.
