KATHMANDU: Deputy Prime Minister Kamal Thapa's Rastriya Prajatantra Party-Nepal has expelled senior leader of the party, Keshar Bahadur Bista, accusing him of working against the party's interests.

The RPP-Nepal decided to suspend Bista from the party, including his general membership, for three years, according Co-Spokesperson of RPP-Nepal Mohan Shrestha.
