Former acting president of the Nepali Congress, Purna Bahadur Khadka, has said that the party has become weak due to the special general convention. Speaking at a seminar on 'Nepali Congress Greater Unity and Future Direction' organized by the Nepali Congress Karnali Province Working Committee on Saturday, Khadka claimed that the Congress had shrunk in the House of Representatives elections due to the impact of the special general convention. 'The Congress has shrunk to 38 seats due to the special general convention,' he said. 'Had the Congress not been in such a state, the situation in the country would have been different.'
He also warned that the party is now on the verge of division. Referring to a meeting he had with the president and vice president a few days ago, Khadka said that he had suggested that the party should not go down the path of division. 'The party is on the verge of division, I will not go down that path, but I have said that the responsibility of uniting or splitting the party lies in the hands of two people,' he said.
He also suggested that Gagan Thapa become the leader of the entire Congress. ‘I have said in repeated meetings that we should move forward by including everyone within the party,’ he said, ‘It was not enough to just be the president of Sanepa. The active members also had to feel that they belonged.’
Khadka said that they had accepted the leadership after the court’s decision and that broad unity within the party was necessary.
