LOSAPA Manifesto – ‘JSP seen as Maoist’s brother party’
LOSAPA, which is aggressive to JSP, has stated that JSP has achieved the same goal of gaining power now.
KATHMANDU: APRIL. 29 – The Democratic Socialist Party (LOSAPA), led by Mahanta Thakur, has accused the ruling Janata Party (JSP) of being a sister party of the Maoist center. Such allegations were made in the party’s local election manifesto, which was made public on Friday.
“The Maoist party Madheshi Jana Adhikar Forum, which was at the forefront of the Madhesh movement by playing a role in making the Constituent Assembly a decisive party, has tarnished Nepal’s image and has now forgotten the Madhesh issue and is now seen as a brother party of the Maoist center,” the manifesto said.
LOSAPA, which is aggressive to JSP, has stated that JSP has achieved the same goal of gaining power now. “Upendra Yadav used to represent the entire Madhesh and all Madhesis at the same time,” the party’s manifesto said, referring to the party’s central chairperson Upendra Yadav. However, his politics have shrunk in order to appease a small number of ethnic groups. This party’s sole goal is to seize power. ‘
The Tharuhat, Madhesi, Adivasi Janajati, and other issues are now being devalued by the party. “Its sole purpose is to enter the government, regardless of the terms and conditions,” LOSAPA explained.
The political animosity between the two parties, which officially split on August 25, 2021, remains. These parties, in particular, who were at odds over whether to join the then-KP Sharma Oli-led government, eventually split. LOSAPA has once again been seen as aggressive towards his old party and former colleagues.
Congress Narrow
The Nepali Congress is regarded as a friendly force by LOSAPA, but it is criticized as a narrow, conservative, and ethnic party. ‘When it comes to the identity, rights, and opportunities of the excluded and deprived Madhesi, Shilpir Dalit, Tharu, Muslim, Adivasi, Janajati, Backward Classes, Minority Communities, Deprived Classes, and others, the Nepali Congress has forgotten its role as a responsible national party. ‘As it shrinks,’ says the manifesto.
LOSAPA further stated that the Nepali Congress appears to be indifferent and unsuccessful in matters concerning the country’s prosperity, the development of new leadership, issues of progressive change, efficient and honest governance, and opportunities for youth leadership.
