He also accused his own party leaders of creating factions within the party which eventually led to Nepali Congress's historical defeat in the three tiers of elections last year. He added that the party's leadership had to change its tune and a change in leadership if Nepali Congress was to rise again.


To save Nepali Congress, a general assembly must be held within Falgun, 2076 BS, he said adding that he'd contest in the elections for party's chairmanship.
