Baburam Bhattarai, who stepped down as chairman of the Nepal Samajwadi Party (Naya Shakti), has said that the new generation should lead the country.
He said that he gave up the party's chairmanship to encourage the new generation.
"Our grandchildren's generation has already come forward. I believe that we should encourage them, and they should lead this country now," Bhattarai said, addressing a press conference on Thursday. “Both new and old parties must either correct themselves or perish."
He also mentioned that he is engaged in an alternative political campaign.
