Shekhar Koirala, one of the candidates for the chairmanship in the upcoming 15th Congress, has accused the leaders and workers of the Congress founding group in a function on Monday that they have stopped raising the matter so that they can do it within the time stipulated by the statute of the upcoming Congress.

His allegation is also aimed at Gagan Thapa and Vishwaprakash Sharma. What kind of slavery is the failure of the sky and the world to raise their voice to hold the convention on time?

If it is to be done according to the statute, then it should be done within the upcoming convention in November 2082. It is not impossible if you have the will. Congress also has a golden opportunity to present ideals for other parties by holding a convention within time. But it seems that the leader has lost his way when the conference is being moved. Although party chairman Sher Bahadur Deuba is reluctant to hold the convention on time due to various reasons and interests, if the two deputy chairpersons and two general ministers after him take a collective stand, it is possible to hold the convention at the time specified by the law.

If the convention is not held within the time limit, not only Deuba will be incompetent, but the office bearers after him will also be incompetent. Since Deubaji is a leader who will always be after the post, they are trying to push the convention after a year. Heaven and the world should strongly oppose this. Gagan said in a function that he will not sit on the chair of the Chief Minister for more than four years. Does he value that bid or not? remains to be seen. However, to show ideals for other parties or walk the thief's way?

Now the atmosphere inside the Congress party is getting very heated. The task of heating it was done by the establishment group meeting held at Deuba residence last Friday. Due to the gathering, now the other side has also reached a heated state. Three groups are now visible on the surface. The founding group is led by Sher Bahadur Deuba himself. Another group is led by Shekhar Koirala and Gagan Thapa. In the 14th Congress, Gagan openly joined the Shekhar group, but which group is he now in? It is not clear. There are no heavyweight candidates and faces like Shekhar and Gagan in the Deuba group. However, if there is no agreement between Shekhar Gagan and both of them fight for the position of chairman, even the weak candidate of the establishment group will not take long to win. If the two of them meet, it will be like chewing iron jaws on the establishment party.

In other groups, if one person can be agreed as the party chairman and the other as the prime minister, the 15th Congress can easily go in favor of the other group. Otherwise, the founding group itself may come again. But since there are dozens of faces in the founding group who will rise to the post of party president, it is difficult to reconcile everyone. After Deuba, there is no such universal face in the founding group. It is foolish to assume that Bimalendra Nidhi and Prakashman Singh, who did not leave Deuba in the 14th Congress, will welcome the face after Deuba with applause. On top of that, Shanshak Koirala, Purna Bahadur Khadka, Krishna Prasad Sitaula are now claiming that it is their turn. There is a possibility that three new groups will be born within the founding group. But in other groups it is easy to mix because there are not many faces. It will be good if Shekhar can match Gagan.
