High-Stakes Meeting of Shekhar Koirala Faction Underway

A crucial meeting convened by the Shekhar Koirala group of the Nepali Congress is currently underway at Anupam Foodland in Battisputali, bringing together key party leaders to discuss vital issues facing the party and the nation.

Prominent figures present at the meeting include Shekhar Koirala, Dr. Minendra Rijal, Minister Surendra Acharya, MP Sunil Sharma, Chandra Bhandari, Vice President Dhanraj Gurung, Bal Bahadur KC, Arjun Narasingha KC, and Jagadish Chandra KC. The gathering signifies a united front as these influential leaders join forces to deliberate on the upcoming Congress Mahasamiti meeting scheduled for the last week of December, as well as to navigate the intricate landscape of contemporary politics.

Of particular note is the participation of General Secretary Gagan Thapa, who has reportedly expressed dissatisfaction with Koirala. Thapa’s involvement in the meeting adds an element of intrigue, as he navigates party dynamics and addresses any potential disagreements within the Congress ranks.

In an attempt to foster unity within the party, Leader Shekhar Koirala engaged in a three-hour-long discussion with General Secretary Gagan Thapa on Tuesday, aiming to persuade him to participate in this pivotal meeting. The outcome of this conversation and Thapa’s role in the ongoing discussions remain of keen interest to political observers.

The leaders have congregated to strategize and set the agenda for the Congress Mahasamiti meeting, which holds significant implications for the future course of the Nepali Congress and the broader political landscape in Nepal.
