Meanwhile Central Working Committee member of the Koirala led Nepali Congress party Ram Chandra Poudel said Wednesday that the tendency to take the party ahead under a single leadership would invite further division in the party.

Poudel speaking at a programme organized by the Reporters’ club Morang branch in Morang said he had stressed on taking ahead the party on the basis of group leadership.

He said the rumour about the Nepali Congress becoming one was just a rumour. Poudel however hinted that a new situation could arise if the parliament was reinstated by the Supreme Court.
