Kathmandu, April 13
The CPN-Maoist Centre has been found misusing Nepal Electricity Authority Managing Director Kul Man Ghising’s picture in one of its social media posts. The party, however, deleted the post after criticism from media and social media.
The party’s chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal, on his verified Facebook page, had posted a picture in which the picture of Ghising was used along with Dahal and Maoist leader Janardan Sharma.
The post read that the Maoist Centre had ended load shedding in the country, asking the public to vote for the party again as it wanted to make electricity free of cost.
Sharma, as the energy minister, had appointed Ghising as the chief of the country’s electricity distribution monopoly, and Ghising’s efficient management is credited for the end of regular power outages in the country.
But, Kul Man Ghising himself objected to the misuse of his photograph in the post, forcing Dahal to delete the post.
