Shankar Pokharel's claim: Oli freed load shedding, Kulman tried to take it

Main News Image

Kathmandu. CPN-UML General Secretary Shankar Pokharel has said that KP Oli has done the job of freeing Nepal from load shedding. Aiming at Kulman Ghising's Bright Nepal Party, he claimed that the plan to make Bright Nepal by freeing load-shedding was taken by someone else.

Writing on social media, Pokharel questioned when to give credit to the planners of Bright Nepal. After the announcement of the Bright Nepal Party under the leadership of Ghising, the former managing director of Electricity Authority, Pokharel made such a sarcasm.

He has also taken a swipe at former minister Janardan Sharma saying that loadshedding is free. Pokharel has written, "The plan of bright Nepal against loadshedding is one's, the other got it, the third opened the party." When will he be credited with the plan?

It has been announced that load shedding has officially ended in Nepal since October 2073. At that time, Ghising was the Executive Director of Electricity Authority. The then Energy Minister Janardan Sharma took over this job. On social media, Ghising was promoted as an activist of Bright Nepal. But General Secretary Pokharel claims that Oli is the campaigner and implementer of Bright Nepal.
