The meeting of the Congress Central Working Committee has been postponed by two days after a vote could not be reached on whether to hold a special or regular convention within November. The central working committee meeting, which was supposed to be held from Sunday, will start only on Tuesday, when the pressure to change the leadership is increasing after the Jen-G rebellion.

The Congress is holding a discussion by inviting the members of the Central Performance Committee to the meeting of office bearers and ex-officers to decide the agenda to be presented to the Central Working Committee. General Minister Gagan Thapa and Vishwa Prakash Sharma are of the position that after the Gen-G movement, a regular convention should be held within November, or a special convention should be held to change the party's policy and leadership. They have been claiming that the party leaders have already collected the signatures of 50 percent of the convention delegates to advance the process of the special convention.

The leaders of the establishment party are presenting themselves aggressively saying that the agenda of the special or regular convention will divide the party immediately. They have also strongly criticized the signature campaign. They accused General Minister Thapa and Sharma of trying to divide the party by running a signature campaign. They commented that the General Ministers' weakness is that the regular convention cannot be held on time. The leaders of the other party allege that the establishment party does not want to go to the convention in view of the February 21 election.

The meeting of the Congress Central Working Committee was postponed after the common agenda could not be decided General Minister Thapa has refuted the accusations against him by the establishment party that he was in a hurry to take the leadership of the party. In Saturday's meeting, Thapa clarified that he did not do all this for the chairman. "I am ready to work as a central member, not as a chairman and an official, I am not trying to be a chairman," he said, "Nepal before 23 and 24 August and Nepal after it are not the same. If we do not radically transform the party, we will not be able to save its relevance. "I have been saying many times, the more pain we give to the president, the more pain he will suffer, let's not give him such pain," he said.

Chairman Deuba has not been in public since he was injured in an attack by protesters during the Gen-G movement. Deputy Chairman Purna Bahadur Khadka is presiding over the meeting of office bearers and ex-officers. Spokesperson Prakasharan Mahat said that Deuba himself will preside over the central working committee meeting.

According to the Chief Secretary of the Congress Central Office, Krishna Paudel, 32 members of the Central Performance Committee have expressed their opinion till Saturday. Paudel said that since some leaders have yet to speak, the meeting of the central working committee has been moved to Tuesday and efforts are being made to set a common agenda.

General ministers argue that Congress will be weak in the elections if there is no radical transformation within the party before the elections announced for February 21. Youth leader Gururaj Ghimire, who is handling the campaign for the special convention, claimed that the signatures of around 2300 convention delegates have been collected from all over the country to call the special convention. There are 4 thousand 745 Congress delegates. In the meantime, some people have died and this number has decreased, according to the other side of the organization.

Before Sunday's central working committee meeting, the petition with signatures was to be submitted to the party office in Sanepa. Ghimire said that after the central working committee meeting was postponed, there is a discussion on whether to register the application on Sunday itself or on Monday. "We have reached more than 50 percent of the signatures, we are working on it, despite the agenda set by the officials and ex-officers, we have already decided to submit a petition with signatures demanding a special convention," he said.

According to General Minister Thapa, the Congress can be held within the last week of November by a short route. But the leaders of the establishment side are not agreeing to set a date by showing the preparation period and the reason for participation. "If the election is held on February 21, the establishment party is not agreeing to hold a regular convention in November because they think that they will have nothing in their hands," said a leader of the other party, "but they cannot go to the election with the current leadership." In any case, both policy and leadership should be changed by holding a convention.' According to another leader, leader Krishna Prasad Sitaula has been putting the most pressure on Deuba not to leave the leadership.

In the alternative of holding a regular convention in November, the founding side is discussing the option of keeping Deuba as the leader and giving acting responsibility to Deputy Chairman Purna Bahadur Khadka, or disbanding the current central working committee and forming a convention organizing committee under someone else's coordination. But even within the establishment party, there is no consensus on the issue of leadership.

leader Shashank Koirala is of the opinion that the central working committee should be dissolved and the responsibility of the caretaker should be assigned. According to the law, if the central working committee is not dissolved, the deputy chairman should be given acting duties. When disbanding the central working committee, any argument can be given by the leaders of the founding party. "I have asked Sher Bahadurji to dissolve this working committee and immediately appoint an acting chairman," he told the media after the meeting.
