The two big parties in the current coalition government have failed to resolve dispute over appointment of governor of the Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) on Saturday as well.
The meeting of the top leaders from both the parties held at the residence of Nepali Congress president Girija Prasad Koirala this morning concluded without any decision on appointment of governor.

UML has been adamant on naming National Planning vice chairman Yubaraj Khatiwada as NRB governor while Nepal Congress has proposed to promote deputy governor Bir Bikram Rayamajhi.

Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal, UML chairman Jhala Nath Khanal, Nepali Congress vice president Ram Chandra Poudel and others had reached Koriala residence this morning.

The leaders have agreed for further deliberation on disputed issues in another meeting scheduled for Sunday.

The leaders are also learnt to have discussed appointment in vacant seats of the constitutional bodies including Commission for Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) besides current political development.

On the occasion, the UML leaders inquired about the health of Koirala, who has been unwell the past few days.
