Loktantrik Samajbadi presents its wish list to Deuba in preparation for joining government

The prime minister is seeking to broaden the alliance in view of upcoming elections and also to save the government from possible unplugging of support.

The Loktantrik Samajbadi Party fared badly in the recent elections. The party lost close to 40 percent of the local units it had won in the 2017 elections. It was the largest force in Madhes Province after the Nepali Congress and Janata Samajbadi Party, winning 25 out of 136 local units.
