The meeting also decided that the people's representatives of the federal, provincial and local levels will continue to discharge their duties as per their responsibilities.
The meeting also changed the date for launching the party's Terai Madhes National Awareness Campaign from March 14 to March 28, citing the lack of time for preparations, said Sapkota.

The meeting also discussed contemporary political issues such as those concerning loan shark victims and dairy farmers among others and drew the attention of the government to resolve them convulsively, said Sapkota.
Meanwhile, the party's Deputy General-Secretary Janardan Sharma wrote a note of dissent on the division of responsibilities in the Standing Committee meeting. He expressed his reservations with the proposed division of responsibilities. He argued, "The division of responsibilities is not in accordance with the purpose of the formation of a party. It seems that the responsibilities were delegated with the hangover of the legislative session."
