Kathmandu: Prime Minister Thapa and RPP chairman, Pashupati S. Rana appear to have sorted out their “political differences” amicably.

The party is now a united force, say insiders of the party.

Political observers maintain that Mr. Rana apparently got convinced when he was told by Prime Minister Thapa that he was not supposed to resign until the elections and that it had been the wish of the monarch as well. Thapa also apparently told Mr. Rana that when the elections were knocking at the doors, a divided or a party split into two halves would only benefit the RPP rivals in other political parties.

Chairman Rana presumably could have concluded that since the monarch will not settle for less than holding of the elections which meant that the incumbent prime minister will continue in the post as prime minister until the elections.

Reports have it that the two RPP stalwarts have decided to convince other parties to get inducted in the present government and provide it a shape of an all party government.

However, how the agitating parties will take the sudden RPP move aimed at unity will have to be watched.
