Nepali Congress suspends two more party members from Sudurpaschim

Baitadi: Nepali Congress has suspended 2 people from the party in Baitadi. Dhan Bahadur Saud, deputy chairman of Sigas Rural Municipality of the district, and Krishna Pant, joint secretary of Patan Nagar of the party, have been expelled from the party.

Congress Baitadi Disciplinary Committee Coordinator Devraj Joshi informed that action was taken against them even as ordinary members of the party. The action was taken on the grounds that Saund acted against the party constitution, supported the opposition candidate, and violated the party's discipline. Similarly, the Congress has said that since Pant was nominated from RPP Nepal, he has also been expelled from the party.

They have been suspended for 5 years. Earlier, the Congress suspended Patan Nagar President Man Bahadur Air, District President of Dalit Sangh Ramesh Koli, and others for opposing the party's official candidate. Narendra Kunwar of the Maoist Center is a candidate for the member of the House of Representatives from Baitadi on behalf of the alliance. Congress leader Keshav Bahadur Chand has filed an opposition nomination against him.

Similarly, Congress's Harimohan Bhandari has filed a rebel candidacy against Bir Bahadur Bista, the candidate of the state assembly constituency (1) on behalf of the Congress.
