There is a lot going on in the ruling Nepal Communist Party. Leaders are baying for each others’ blood. Factional feud has reached a tipping point and the party is facing an imminent danger of a split. Leaders are making statements, holding meetings and attempting negotiations to keep the party unity intact. Amid all this, there is one person who has been working extra hours to save the party from splitting. That’s President Bidya Devi Bhandari.

Bhandari’s efforts, however, have met with severe criticism, as analysts and leaders from the ruling Nepal Communist Party (NCP) calling her involvement in party politics an action that undermines her high office.

Amid rising tension in the ruling party, Bhandari on Tuesday held a meeting with vice-chair Bamdev Gautam and asked him to “play a constructive role” for party unity.
