Bishwa Prakash Sharma dismisses claims of financial manipulation at Nepali Congress general convention

Bishwa Prakash Sharma Kathmandu, November 9 Nepali Congress Senior Vice-President Bishwa Prakash Sharma has urged party members not to question the party’s general convention based on rumours circulating on social media, dismissing allegations of financial manipulation as baseless. Speaking at a programme organised by the Nepali Congress Kavrepalanchok district committee on Monday, Sharma said it was wrong to conclude that millions of rupees had changed hands simply on the basis of claims made by intermediaries.

He rejected allegations that he and Gagan Thapa had paid millions of rupees to bring about a change in the party’s leadership. He asked critics to compare the political and financial standing of leaders who have repeatedly held positions of power with that of those facing the allegations.

“It is time to move the Nepali Congress forward with new thinking, energy and direction in line with national needs and changing circumstances,” Sharma said. “We must prioritise facts, evidence and reason over unverified allegations and rumours.
