Janata Samajbadi Party Nepal Begins Internal Review After Defeat in Federal Elections

Kathmandu. The Janata Samajbadi Party Nepal (JSPN), which faced defeat in the House of Representatives elections held on Falgun 21, has begun an internal review.

The party failed to win a single seat in the election. Party leader Dr. Surendra Jha stated that top leaders have gathered for an internal review to determine why this situation arose. Following the election results, party chairman Upendra Yadav himself visited various districts in the Madhes region to meet with leaders and cadres to discuss the reasons for the party's poor performance. 

Chairman Yadav personally interacted with district party presidents, candidates, and other party leaders and cadres. Upon returning to Kathmandu, Chairman Yadav engaged in discussions with top leaders. Leader Jha mentioned that the official stance would be made public after deliberations with the leaders. 

The party is taking this kind of failure seriously. He stated that a ruthless review will be conducted, after which their position will be announced at a press conference. 

Previously, a meeting of the Federal Democratic Morcha had attributed the election failure to Balen Shah. Concluding that Madhes votes went to Balen because 'a son of the Madhes is becoming the Prime Minister,' the Morcha expressed happiness over Balen becoming the Prime Minister. 

They determined in the meeting that the agitation led by Madhesi parties was responsible for a Madhesi son becoming Prime Minister. However, most leaders of JSPN opposed the decision made by the Democratic Morcha. The Democratic Morcha meeting was held under the chairmanship of JSPN patron Mahantha Thakur. 

However, it is reported that JSPN Chairman Upendra Yadav is also not satisfied with the decisions made by that meeting. 

JSPN is preparing to call a meeting soon to announce its formal position.
