CPN-UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli on Friday held a meeting with Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal at the residence of CPN (Maoist Centre) leader Narayankaji Shrestha.

During the meeting, PM Dahal, who is also the Chairman of CPN (Maoist Centre), urged Oli not to cast doubts over the timely local elections.

The government has decided to hold the elections by mid-May.

“Why the government is dilly dallying to announce dates for civic polls,” former PM Oli questioned on the occasion.

In response, PM Dahal urged Oli not to doubt whether the elections would be held.

According to Shrestha, who was also present in the meeting, the two leaders also discussed to unveil budget for the fiscal year 2017-2018, bring in government’s policy and programme and hold local elections by mid-May.

CPN-UML Vice-Chairman Bhim Rawal was also present in the meeting.
