The consultations, according to leaders involved in the campaign, are being held to present their collective ideas in the party’s upcoming CWC meeting. The NC is expected to hold its CWC meeting after the Election Commission (EC) comes up with the final election result.
The campaign has been initiated by the likes of Gagan Thapa, Pradeep Poudel after the NC suffered its worst performance in parliamentary polls post-1990.
Discussions will be held on all aspects of the party, said NC leader Nabindra Raj
Joshi, adding that they have started with the ideological issues of the party. Youth leaders are of the view that the party should come up with an ideological clarity in the context of promulgation of new constitution. “A chapter of economic development and prosperity has begun,” Joshi said. Party leaders concede that they failed to counter the left alliance’s agenda of stability and development during electioneering. They are also reviewing the party’s policy on various sectors such as economic affairs, foreign affairs and other socio-economic agendas.
