Rastriya Swatantra Party Meeting in Bara Descends into Chaos Over Disciplinary Action

Kalaiya. Controversy and tension have arisen at the extended meeting of the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) held in Bara. The meeting became chaotic after disgruntled cadres protested against the elected lawmakers regarding the action taken against former district president Chandan Swarnakar.

As the dispute between the party's old cadres and lawmakers escalated, creating a tense situation, the police intervened and escorted all four lawmakers to a safe location.

This dispute began after the four elected lawmakers from Bara RSP sent a written letter to the center recommending action against former district president Chandan Swarnakar. The lawmakers accused Swarnakar of not supporting them during the elections. Due to this dissatisfaction, all four lawmakers recommended Swarnakar for action to the central committee on Baisakh 30.

Following this recommendation, Swarnakar was suspended, which angered the party's old cadres. At the extended meeting held in Kalaiya on Saturday, cadres from the old faction protested against the lawmakers over the same issue and forced them out of the meeting venue.

According to a local RSP leader who attended the meeting, there is a growing complaint that those who became lawmakers after joining from other parties are neglecting the old and loyal cadres. The leader said, 'There was a widespread complaint here that those who became honorable members after coming from various parties did not support the old and young cadres. That is why the members of the old committee protested against the lawmakers.'

Following the misconduct and protests by the disgruntled cadres, and considering the security sensitivity, the police removed all four lawmakers from the meeting venue and safely escorted them to a local hotel.
No official reaction has been received from the party's central leadership regarding this incident.

Based on the recommendation of the party's central disciplinary commission, the central committee meeting held on Baisakh 30 decided to revoke Swarnakar's membership. The official information of this decision was conveyed through a letter sent by Shankar Shrestha, Secretary of the Central Office Organization Department, on Jeth 6.

Strongly objecting to this move by the party, Swarnakar expressed his anger through social media. Claiming he was removed unjustly, he termed it a 'political murder'.
