Second rung leaders of Nepali Congress have criticised President Sher Bahadur Deuba for not discussing the agenda of the government change in the party.  The leaders have further accused Deuba of playing puerile game.  

The criticism comes a day after UCPN (Maoist) decided to give continuity to UML-led left alliance, making a U-turn from Wednesday’s announcement to lead its own government with support of Nepali Congress, the largest party in the parliament.

 NC leader Prakash Man Singh, who met Deuba at the latter’s residence to put the dissatisfaction, said that Deuba agreed to discuss important issues such as government change in the party from now on.  Besides Singh, Sita Devi Yadav, Dilendra Badu, Minendra Rijal and Aanand Dhungana were present in the meeting.  All of them are from another panel led by NC senior leader Ramchandra Poudel.
