Bhattarai has criticised party Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal's proposal terming it as a political stunt and claimed that the report was a continuation of the past and will not solve the problems.

Along with the formation of new political force, Bhattarai, in his proposal, has called for handover of leadership, economic revolution in the country, revamping working guidelines of the party, inclusive democracy, among others. Bhattarai will discuss on his proposal during the close session of the convention scheduled to begin at 1 pm today.

Vice Chairman Narayan Kaji Shrestha will primarily raise the issue of nationalism in his speech. Likewise, transformation of leadership, loss of the party's proletariat image, revamping the party to retain its revolutionary zeal, among other issues, will also feature in Shrestha's speech during the close session.
