Speaking at a program in the capital on Saturday, Mahara, who is close to party Vice-chairman Mohan Baidya, described the dispute as a minor ideological difference in the party, adding that the party would remain intact despite the difference.[break]
The Baidya faction has been raising a serious objection to the party decision to hand over the keys, prompting many to speculate that the party would suffer a split.
On the occasion, Mahara also said the party would come up with a draft on the conclusion of the peace process once Prime Minister and party Vice-chairman Baburam Bhattarai returns home from New York.
