Amid a row over nominations to the party central committee (CC), UCPN (Maoist) had threatened to quit his post. After the resignation announcement, Chairman Dahal called a joint meeting of party office bearers, former standing committee members and chiefs of state committees at Parisdanda on Saturday. But the meeting failed to find any solution even on Sunday.
During the CC meeting at party head office, Parisdanda on Saturday, he announced his resignation from the post of vice-chairman, arguing that the leadership should start making sacrifices by giving up their respective posts. He claimed that he had decided to resign from his post after no other leader seemed ready to leave his post or remain in a lower rank in the party.
