Party split will not affect the government: Deputy Prime Minister Yadav

Bhaktapur, May 10: Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Health and Population, Upendra Yadav has said that the split of Janata Samajwadi Party Nepal will not affect the government.

"We are in favor of a stable government and we have always sought stability. We will not back down from that responsibility realized by us,” he said in an interaction organized by Rafat Sanchar Club here today.

Stating that the JSP Nepal's support to the government continues and the government will not fall because of them, Deputy Prime Minister Yadav, who is also the chairman of Janata Samajwadi Party Nepal, said, "We will not play the game of toppling down the government. Since our party seeks political stability, good governance, development, prosperity and stability of the federal republic, it will not engage in the game of overthrowing the government." 

He said that he will go to the Supreme Court for justice regarding the split of the party. The JSP Nepal Chair expressed his dissatisfaction, saying, "When I went abroad to represent the government, the party was split through a conspiracy here."

DPM Yadav said that he believed that the court would overturn the party split, stating that the party split was an unnatural, unprincipled, unethical and unconstitutional move as well. 

He alleged that the name, flag and logo of the new party were the same, but the application was made the previous evening and the party was registered the next day. "It was seen that they are trying to weaken democracy and bring instability to the country by splitting the party," alleged Deputy Prime Minister Yadav.  (RSS)
