Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli and Nepal Communist Party Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal are holding a meeting even today to resolve the intraparty feud.
The meeting held on Monday did not strike a deal.
The intraparty feud has deepened in the NCP after Prime Minister Oli’s resignation entered as an agenda in the Standing Committee meeting held on June 24.
The chairman duo Dahal and Oli have been entrusted to sort out the differences after the ruling party headed to the brink of collapse.
It is learnt that Oli has been a bit flexible of late and is likely to agree to hand over premiership to Dahal to hold general elections by holding an early general convention of the party. But Dahal has not budged from his stance of ‘one man one post’ in the party.
On the other hand senior leader Madhav Kumar Nepal is still sticking to his demand that Oli has to resign from the post of the prime minister.
Oli’s morale has been high after he was able to bring Secretariat members Bam Dev Gautam and Ram Bahadur Thapa into his confidence, recently.
