NEPALGUNJ, Aug 22: General Secretary of the Nepali Congress Dr Shashank Koirala has said that groupism taking place in the party has divided leaders and cadres.

Leader Koirala said the NC would not be strong until groupsim exists in the party.
At a press meet organised by Nepal Press Union, Banke, on Wednesday, he said the NC would be very weak if there was no unity among all organizations of the party.

Responding a query, the NC General Secretary said, “Time has not come to evaluate the activities of the incumbent government. But, the government has become failure to show right path to the country.”

Meanwhile, addressing the cadres gathering at Nepalgunj today, he said it was the responsibility of the leadership to take the party head by bringing all at the same place.

Similarly, NC Chief Whip Bal Krishna Khand stressed that cadres should correct themselves rather than blaming others. RSS
