KATHMANDU, Aug 2: The former president of Nepal University Teachers Association Bhupati Dhakal has given up active politics in the Nepali Congress citing reservations over the result of party´s electoral constituency level convention.



Dhakal failed to become elected as convention representative from Kaski constituency three days ago. "I have been in the party for the last 52 years. But I was defeated by some opportunists in the party," he said at a press conference, Monday. He alleged that some of his supporters sold their loyalty for a meal.



Dhakal bagged just 10 votes, lowest among contestants in his constituency.
