The dramatic development in the Nepal Sadbhavana Party (A) today resulted in General Secretary Shyam Sundar Gupta taking complete charge of the party headquarters in the capital.
This coincided with expelled leaders announcing a meeting of the central committee tomorrow in Birgunj with a view, as Laxman Lal Karna said, to reviewing the latest developments and plan the general convention.
Earlier today, Gupta and other central leaders of the party walked to the party office in the capital and “took control of the situation” following a day that saw expulsion of four key leaders, including Minister of Industry, Commerce and Supplies Rajendra Mahato.
Gupta, who has been tipped to be the next representative of the party in the interim government, flayed the expelled leaders for their anti-leadership posture, including disrespect to party President Anandi Devi.
He also poked fun at the announcement from the expelled groups that it will be organising a general convention to elect new leadership.
“How can those who have been expelled go about organising an event without the stamp of authority from previously elected leadership?” Gupta wondered.
He also denied that the party was on the verge of split. He said the party leadership was waiting for the Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala to relieve and replace Mahato.
While Karna said the mediator of the party, Narsingh Chaudhary, was busy meeting people to possibly sort out the tangle, Gupta denied any knowledge of the same.
