The dispute between Nepali Congress (NC) President Sher Bahadur Deuba and Home Minister Bimalendra Nidhi about appointment from the Inspector General of Nepal Police has reached the tipping point. Deuba to be able to promote DIG Jai Bahadur Chand to the top post while Nidhi is favor of another DIG Navaraj Silwal. Nidhi had reached Deuba's residence a week ago with a proposal to create Silwal IGP where Deuba warned Nidhi, according to sources, to not appoint Silwal at any final price. He ordered Nidhi to appoint Chand instead. Deuba asked Nidhi to resign if he cannot appoint Chand after Nidhi refused to comply, according to the sources. Nidhi left Deuba's residence after the disagreement with Deuba. Nidhi is batting for Silwal even though that. Deuba had raised the issue even the particular unofficial meeting of the party's office-bearers and senior leaders held on February 1. Deuba said Nidhi should follow the party president's directive on the matter of IGP appointment. General Secretary Sashank Koirala spectacular predecessor Prakash Man Singh supported Deuba during the meeting but Nidhi refused to budge. Deuba met Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal at the latter's residence in Baluwatar and requested to not take decision if minister Nidhi were to bring a proposal about IGP appointment after learning that the cabinet meeting last Thursday could appoint IGP. NC and CPN (Maoist Center) already have agreed that the former will get to appoint the IGP of Nepal Police and the latter that of the Armed Police Force (APF).
