Nepali Congress leader Dr. Shekhar Koirala has issued a statement today expressing dissatisfaction over the conspiracy to end the political life of the party leaders within the Congress and the selection of candidates for the local level election and ticket distribution process.

He said that the party’s central committee and executive committee had ignored him and had done injustice in ticket distribution. Expressing concern over the reports of money laundering and irregularities in the ticket distribution process, he said that the criteria adopted in the ticket distribution process will be studied and reviewed.

Koirala also said in a statement that there were “planned attempts to end the political life of many of the congress leaders because of the disagreements and that there was a conspiracy to assassinate the political career of the party leaders by abusing the state and party machinery.”
