The office bearer meeting of the party also concluded that the Sher Bahadur Deuba-led government had deceived it by excluding the RPP, a party that voted for Deuba’s election, in major decisions of the government.
The dialogue committee led by General Secretary Jayanta Chand was dissolved on Wednesday immediately after Deuba appointed 19 new ministers without consulting with the RPP.
Though some office bearers had suggested withdrawing support to the government, the RPP took no decision to this effect. Even if the party with 37 lawmakers pulls the plug, the government will continue to have a majority in Parliament.
