By Liladhar Oli, Ghorahi, Sept.26: Leader of the Nepali Congress and former general secretary Dr Shashank Koirala has said that youth needs to be promoted for party leadership.

Addressing a meeting organized by the Nepali Congress, Dang, at Ghorahi on Thursday, the former general secretary said that the young generation needs to be brought to leadership to make NC organized, strong, and efficient.  

Mentioning that there is not a single member of the youth party below the age of 40, leader Koirala said that there is a need to attract youths to the party.  

Koirala said that youth needs to be assigned a place even if it is by amending the party's statute of the party.
