Khadka resigns from NC central committee

Elected Central Working Committee member of Nepali Congress, Purna Bahadur Khadka, has resigned from his post expressing dissatisfaction over party leadership's incompetence and their inability to take moral responsibility for the party's humiliating defeat in the CA polls.

Khadka also criticized the party's top leaders for failing to check the Maoist highhandedness while tendering his resignation at the party's CWC meeting Saturday.

"The party is heading towards a further disaster due to the central leadership's incompetence," said Khadka adding, "In this situation I cannot continue as CWC members just to become a witness to the party's drift toward a complete failure."

He also accused the party's top leaders - Girija Prasad Koirala, Sher Bahadur Deuba and Sushil Koirala - of working in dictatorial manner while fielding party candidates in the election and selecting the CA members from the proportional representation list.

"The seats were distributed like the leaders' shares and the parliamentary board ignored the central working committee's role in finalizing the list," said Khadka, adding, "The martyrs' families who were included in the list were also ignored." nepalnews.com ag May 11 08
