RSP Decides to Support Nepali Congress for Public Accounts Committee Chair

Kathmandu. The ruling Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) has decided to allocate the chairmanship of the Public Accounts Committee of the House of Representatives to the main opposition party, the Nepali Congress. The decision was made during a meeting of the RSP parliamentary party held at its office in Singha Durbar.

Congress lawmakers Bharat Khadka, Mohan Acharya, Yogesh Gauchan, and Janakraj Giri have expressed their interest in the chairmanship of the Accounts Committee.
