At a programme organised at Bhairahawa today, leader Thapa said it was just a rumor that he is becoming a minister. “There is no reality in the rumor that I am becoming a minister. My priority is how to further strengthen the party”, he opined. General-Secretary Thapa argued that no one has given any position to him in the party, adding whatever he has got, he got by fighting in the party and from his own capacity.
