The feud between the two factions of the ruling Nepal Communist Party (NCP) shows no sign of ebbing, with the two factions now wrangling over what can resolve the crisis facing the party.

The Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli-led faction of the NCP is trying to forge understanding with the rival faction of the party led by Co-chair Pushpa Kamal Dahal along the line of decisions the party’s Standing Committee took on September 11, but leaders close to Dahal and senior NCP leader Madhav Kumar Nepal say abiding by the September 11 decisions is not enough.

The Standing Committee had decided on September 11 that the PM would have a free hand in the day-today affairs of the government, while Dahal will exercise executive power in the party as per the recommendation of the six-member task force. The decision of the party’s top body had helped defuse the tension in the party then.
