Congress leaders protest at Party Office

Leader warns of independent candidacy across the country and “no vote” campaign for coalition candidates

The Congress leaders of the agitating Koirala panel staged a sit-in at the party office Sanepa today demanding equal rights and justice in Congress.

The Congress leaders of the Shekhar Koirala panel, who have been rebelling within the party regarding the issue of seat allocation within the coalition, demanded to correct the closed list of candidates towards a proportional election system saying that they should get 40 per cent seats. They have also warned that the alliance will lose the election if the distribution of the seats and tickets won’t go fair.

The Congress leaders have said that they will boycott the elections and will not vote for the candidates of the alliance if they try to move ahead in an arbitrary manner by weakening the party in the name of the alliance. They have also warned about independent candidacy across the country.
