NC starts a relay fast at the party office in Dadeldhura, the home district of Nepali Congress party president Sher Bahadur Deuba, demanding the re-convening of the ward convention. The party president Deuba, who is also the prime minister, has been distributing active membership arbitrarily, bypassing the district committee and holding ward conventions.

Nepali Congress Dadeldhura office secretary Ram Bista informed that an indefinite relay fast has been started at the party office since September 23. The district president Karna Bahadur Malla had postponed the ward convention due to an active membership dispute. District president, Malla's side has demanded that a new date should be fixed by postponing the convention illegally held by Deuba.
