KATHMANDU: A meeting of office-bearers of the Janata Samajwadi Party (JSP) Thursday could not decide which party it would lend its support to form a new government.
Lately, the JSP, a key player in forming a new government following the revival of the CPN-UML and CPN (Maoist Center), has been at work to choose its coalition partners for government formation.
Similarly, a meeting of the party central executive committee today itself was postponed until further notice, citing a lack of necessary homework for the meet.
Today’s meeting of the party office-bearers’ at party central office in Balkumari, Lalitpur, was called to do necessary homework for the meeting of its executive committee.
A series of meetings held previously to decide JSP support to form a new government has failed to reach any conclusion, said party leader Keshab Jha.
Earlier, a meeting of the party’s top leaders on March 15 had remained inconclusive on the matter as well. Likewise, a meeting of party office-bearers’ slated for March 16 was put off.
In regard to government formation, earlier the party had held talks with Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, the CPN-UML, the CPN (Maoist Center) and the main opposition Nepali Congress.
The party has 32 members in the House of Representatives, of which two have been suspended.
