RAUTAHAT, MAY 6

CPN-UML Chair KP Sharma Oli has said it was a mistake on his part to teach Madhav Kumar Nepal politics and induct him to CPN-UML.

"Fifty odd years ago he was just a student at Mahendra Morang College when I found him. Not only did I convince him to join politics, but also brought him into my own party, helped him to get major posts always including the chance to run the party for 15 long years and the country for 21 months, just to see what he's done," he said.

"I did so much for him but now it feels that I was backing the wrong horse. He left no stone unturned to destroy the party that had given him everything," he added.

Oli was speaking at a mass gathering organised by his party in Rautahat district headquarters Gaur.

Further, referring to Nepal's remark during the Nepali Congress's election gathering in Chitwan yesterday, Oli called Nepal a traitor.
