Nepali Congress (NC) leader Prakash Man Singh has said that the party is in need of urgent reforms.

Speaking at a 'tea reception and get-together' programme organised by Nepali Congress Kathmandu Metropolitan City Ward Number 10 Committee in the Capital on Monday, leader Singh said that the NC should be reformed as it got poor results in the recently held parliamentary and provincial assembly elections.

"The party well-wishers and cadres have been saying that the party organisation should be revamped. I will pressurise the party president for the same," the party's former general secretary said. He argued that the party performed poorly in the elections as it could not function according to the party statute.

"The number of votes the party got towards the proportional representation system of the election shows that the people's faith in the Nepali Congress has not diminished," he said.

He stated that the NC secured poor results in the elections as it could not carry out good works while leading the government.

Leader Singh suggested that rather than only looking up to the leaders for development, people should exert pressure on them for the same. RSS
