KATHMANDU: Deputy Prime Minister Kamal Thapa's Rastriya Prajatantra Party-Nepal on Thursday appointed Rajaram Shrestha spokesperson of the party.

The position was vacant after the party on February 5 removed Bishnu Bhattarai for "breaching the party statute and his activities were against the party interests."
