Dissatisfied over Chairman Sushil Koirala’s candidacy for Prime Minister, Nepali Congress Joint-General Secretary Purna Bahadur Khadka has resigned from his post.

“I have an objection over Koirala’s candidacy,” Khadka said, “After such disagreement, it is not appropriate to hold a position where I was appointed by him.”

Khadka told that he has informed Koirala about the resignation. He was in favor of CPN-UML-led government as per past agreement.
