KATHMANDU: The Election Commission of Nepal (EC) has rejected the claims made by two separate factions of the Janata Samajbadi Party (JSP) Nepal regarding the actions taken to the rival group.
The JSP Chairman Upendra Yadav had taken action against another Chairman Mahantha Thakur and the leaders of Thakur faction for joining the incumbent government. In response, Chairman Thakur had also taken action against the leaders of the Yadav faction.
Both the factions had expelled each other from the party as well. The decisions of their claims were submitted to the EC some weeks ago.
