JSP Chair Thakur reforms executive committee



KATHMANDU: Mahanta Thakur, the Chairperson of newly formed Janata Samajbadi Party has reformed the party’s executive committee by removing two of his party aides and replacing them by Sunil Jha and Gaja Dhar Yadav.

According to JSP sources, Thakur removed Dr. Vijaya Singh and Ram Kumar Ojha from party executives so as to accommodate the dissatisfied leaders of erstwhile Rastriya Janata Party (RJP).

Anil Kumar Jha and Raj Kishore Yadav, the chairman duo of former RJP were said to be seeking their positions in the newly-formed party conceived with the unification of Rastriya Janata Party and Samajbadi Party.

Sunil Jha and Gaja Dhar Yadav, meanwhile, are said to be the leaders close to Anil Kumar Jha and Raj Kishore Yadav respectively.

The sources claimed that with this new adjustment the ongoing conflict originated from Rastriya Janata Party is taken as resolved for the time being.

Earlier, then Chairmen of RJP Jha and Yadav had been denying to sign the unification document citing that Thakur had kept eight members close to him in the executive committee without letting others enjoy the power sharing.

Janata Samajbadi Party received its registration certificate regarded as the formal recognition from the Election Commission on July 11.
