Since the majority of the Congress is on its side, the Election Commission and others should recognize this Congress. The Congress should be led by a new leadership and compete alone in the upcoming elections. Even if the Congress is divided, all the cadres should be included without prejudice.

When the news of the Congress establishment party taking 'action' against General Secretaries Gagan Thapa and Bishwaprakash Sharma reached Bhrikuti Mandap, the venue of the special general convention, sloganeering had already begun.
Gagan-Bishwa was demanding to take the leadership of the party and there was loud sloganeering against the decision of the establishment party. Immediately after the action of the establishment party, General Secretary Thapa entered the hall where the special general convention was being held at Bhrikutimandap. As soon as Thapa entered, sloganeering in his favor had already started from the Bhrikutimandap gate.
As soon as he stood on the stage of the hall, the delegates started loudly chanting in his favor. As Gagan started speaking, his voice was drowned out by the roar of 'Jai Nepal'. When he said that the majority of the Congress was in the hall of the special general convention, the delegates became even more enthusiastic. They kept chanting 'Jai Nepal' in unison.
General Secretary Thapa gave three main messages from the hall. First, since the majority of the Congress is on its side, the Election Commission and others should recognize this Congress. Second, to take the Congress forward under a new leadership and contest the upcoming elections alone. The Congress will take everyone forward in a new way. His third message was that even if the Congress is divided, all the workers will be included without prejudice.
Gagan, who appeared somewhat worried but angry after the action of the Deuba faction, urged the representatives present to be patient in the hour of crisis and not go to the elections. He pledged to include the establishment faction as well, saying that he would seek the blessings of Sher Bahadur Deuba by selecting a new leadership not only politically but also practically.
Gagan flatly rejected the action of the establishment, saying, "We have heard that action has been taken against us. This party is not someone's private company. I have been a Congress member since I was in grade 9. I participated in the 2046 movement, and I even led the 2062 and 2063 movements." I won't leave just because someone removed me. Did you remove me from my own house? This is not someone's private firm.'
Immediately after Gagan's address, Farmullah Mansur said that the Congress would reach heights under Gagan's leadership.
Immediately after that, another general secretary, Vishwaprakash Sharma, stood on the stage of the closed session. Although he appeared calm at first, slogans were being raised in the hall, Gagan is in favor of the world. He convinced the general convention delegates and questioned the action taken when trying to form a new Congress according to the rules and regulations. When he asked whether it was wrong to take action against the two general secretaries, put forward a proposal to form a strong Congress, and try to prepare a candidate alone in the upcoming elections? When the delegates asked, 'No.'
He said that he had heard news that he had taken action when he proposed to form a strong Congress based on rules and regulations.
'The Congress should go in the upcoming elections as a united front. Is it wrong to say that the entire Congress will go as one when the President leaves? Is it wrong to say that the Nepali Congress will field candidates in 165 places without joining hands with other parties?’ He asked the Deuba faction, ‘We said that the Congress should stand together in 165 places in the upcoming elections and vote under the tree symbol. Is it wrong to say that we should declare the Prime Minister’s candidate and go? Instead of forming the Congress, making rules and going, should we take action?’
