JSP on verge of split, Thakur-faction in mood to resurrect RJP

KATHMANDU, May 31: Decisions and moves taken by both the factions in the Janata Samajwadi Party Nepal (JSP)--- one led by Mahantha Thakur and the other by Upendra Yadav--- in recent days have led the party to an apparent split in the party.

The two party chairmen -- Thakur and Yadav asked each other to furnish clarifications twice. The deadline expired on Monday. The series of seeking clarifications began earlier on May 26. However, both sides failed to submit their explanations in the stipulated time-frame.
