Nepali Congress leader Gagan Thapa has said that he is ready to take the leadership of Province 3 as Chief Minister if the party gives him the responsibility.

Speaking at a press conference organised by Press Union, Chitwan Chapter, at Bharatpur Airport on Tuesday, leader Thapa said that the party should start campaigning for the upcoming provincial and federal elections by announcing provincial leadership. Thapa added that he would take the responsibility and lead the campaign as the Province 3 chief.

The former Health Minister Thapa, however, said that it was just his wish and he would abide by the party's decision.

Moreover, leader Thapa said that forging an alliance is a necessity due to the nation’s electoral system and stressed on forging alliance with other parties only on limited issues.

On a different note, leader Thapa urged the agitating doctors to call off their protest as the patients are facing a hard time due to their ongoing agitation.

He further urged the medical doctors to find alternative ways to get their demands addressed instead of closing hospital services.
