New parties in House struggling to make an impact

Rastriya Swatantra, Janamat and Nagarik Unmukti parties have failed to effective play their parliamentary roles.

Three parties—the Rastriya Swatantra Party, the Janamat Party and the Nagarik Unmukti Party—made it to Parliament last November in their first try at parliamentary politics, winning 20, six, and four seats, respectively. But they have failed to deliver effectively either as ruling parties or as strong opposition raising public voices, say observers.
