President of the Nepali Congress, Gagan Kumar Thapa, has claimed that NC itself would lead the government in Madhes Province. President Thapa said it during a province level gathering of the party and the grassroots campaign at Bardibas here on Wednesday. NC's leadership in government will continue, he assured. He directed party cadres and leaders to link each activity to social movements. NC led by Thapa, which saw severe dent in the March 5 House of Representatives, has launched a 'jara abhiyan' (grassroots campaign) in a bid to restore public trust and unite the party within. Thapa is addressing various gatherings across the country as part of the drive.
