Conflict between the ruling party’s president and prime minister has reached a point of no return. In a programme organised by Nepal Farmers’ Association in Chitwan last Wednesday, party president Girija Prasad Koirala called the party workers for a nation-wide agitation against ‘Bhattarai’s almost dead government.’

Last Friday too, at the inauguration of the Kathmandu Utsav, the former prime minister criticised the government and said if the government’s does only patch-work jobs, it may invite disaster in the country. Koirala’s utterance in Chitwan and in Kathmandu show that he is committed to topple the present government.

As the party president has expressed his anger, some MPs have met with the prime minister and have demanded the sacking of some of his cabinet colleagues Meanwhile, the Nepali Congress has gathered its MPs at Godavari in the name of giving them training.

But, it is assumed that the Godavari gathering may prepare a plan to topple the present government.
