Though party president and prime minister KP Sharma Oli invited party executive president Pushpa Kamal Dahal Prachanda to hold a joint discussion with both the parties on Saturday morning to resolve the dispute after his own party MPs filed a no-confidence motion against Karnali Chief Minister Mahendra Bahadur Shahi, Prachanda did not go to Baluwatar.

According to party sources, Oli called on lawmakers from both sides of the CPN (Maoist) Karnali for a discussion in Baluwatar at 11 am and asked Prachanda to come there as well. 

Oli had invited Chief Minister Shahi, party president Gorakh Bahadur Bogati, co-incharge Yamlal Kandel, recently suspended chief whip Gulav Jung Shah, party secretary Maya Prasad Sharma and other leaders including Prakash Jwala and Chandra Bahadur Shahi for discussions.

On Thursday, Prachanda summoned Kandel, Shah and Secretary Shahi, who led the Oli group's no-confidence motion, to listen to them in Khumaltar. In the process, Prachanda accused Kandel of taking the wrong path by filing a no-confidence motion against Chief Minister Shahi without consulting the party's central level and said that the responsibility of rectifying that fell on everyone's shoulders.

However, Leader Kandel had returned the reply to Prachanda that he had filed a no-confidence motion without informing the central level, thinking that he should exercise his constitutional right now that the country has gone to federalism. Earlier on Thursday, Prachanda and senior leader Madhav Kumar Nepal met separately with their group's chief minister Shahi, a lawmaker who signed the no-confidence motion and some other leaders.

In that context, Chief Minister Shahi had urged Prachanda and Nepal to take initiative saying that he had been interfering in the running of the government by some of his own party friends, which made it difficult for him to work and he should be able to work in his favor.

On Sunday, 18 lawmakers from the CPN (Maoist) Karnali had filed a no-confidence motion against Chief Minister Shahi, saying that his failure to run the government effectively had affected the party and the party. Among the lawmakers who filed the no-confidence motion, eight were from the Oli faction, seven from the Nepal faction and three from the Prachanda faction.

The meeting was adjourned for a third day on Tuesday to discuss the no-confidence motion after Chief Minister Shahi filed a no-confidence motion against him and asked for help in securing his post.

After that, Chairman Oli and Prachanda jointly maintained the no-confidence motion and gave written instructions to both the groups to come to the party's central office in Dhumbarahi, Kathmandu within Thursday.

In Kathmandu, Prachanda and Nepal met their respective MPs on the first day and Oli faction MPs on the second day.

At the same time, the Oli faction has accused Prachanda of giving priority to the faction again. The lawmakers who filed a no-confidence motion on the issue were again dispersed on the basis of faction. “We are saddened by the leaders work”,said Kandel. He said he had been informed to come to Baluwatar for a meeting at 11 a.m. on Saturday, but was unaware about presence of leaders. 

Secretary Shahi, on the other hand, said that he had called the leaders of both the parties on Saturday, informed that discussions would be held in the presence of both the chairpersons and that he was going to Baluwatar for the meeting.
