Leadership cannot be simply handed as gift: Dahal

RANJHA: CPN (Maoist Centre) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal has said that leadership cannot be simply handed as a gift.

In his address to a press meet organised by the Press Center Banke at Nepalgunj today, he said the party believes in the production of leaders through a system and practices it accordingly.

He said he is not an irreplaceable figure to hold the chair post within the party and is focused on preparing his successor through a system.

He also took the opportunity to assure that the party will remain united, dismissing rumors of a possible split.

The erstwhile Prime Minister also accused the two largest parties: the Nepali Congress (NC) and the CPN-UML of forcefully toppling the government led by him, though he was performing ‘well’.
