Kathmandu, Jan 23

Federal Council Chairman of Socialist Party Nepal Baburam Bhattarai has turned down the offer of CPN Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal to join the ruling party.

Welcoming central member of Socialist Party Ram Prasad Rijal to CPN ON Wednesday, Dahal had urged Socialist party leaders like Bhattarai, Upendra Yadav and Ashok Rai to join CPN instead of wasting time on petty things.

Bhattarai turned down Dahal's offer through Twitter on Thursday and has taken a swipe at Dahal claiming he is trapped inside the cage of KP Sharma Oli.

"Pushpa Kamal who is himself suffering trapped in the cage of Khadga Prasad has apparently urged us to join the cage like the incapacitated old tiger in the 'Kankad Lubdha Paanth Katha' of Panchatantra that hunts passersby wearing a golden bangle!," Bhattarai has tweeted ending the tweet with a Nepali proverb about a deprived person's inability to give something to others.
