NC needs new leadership: Sujata Koirala

KATHMANDU, June 17: Nepali Congress leader Sujata Koirala has argued that Nepali Congress needs a new leadership who can bring massive reforms in the party.

Speaking at an interaction program organized by the Reporters’ Club Nepal on Monday, Koirala said, “Nepali Congress needs reformation. If the party cannot be reformed, we will face even more humiliating defeat in the next election.”

“For that, the party needs a new leadership, a new face who can unify the party by ending groupism prevalent in the present party structure,” she added.

“Errant, angry leadership will not work now,” she said while referring to present party president Sher Bahadur Deuba.

“We need a new leader who can revive the Nepali Congress,” she added.

Koirala stressed holding General Convention as soon as possible to search for a new leadership.

“A leader who embraces the ideals of BP Koirala (democratic socialism) will be elected as the new leader,” she added.
