The Janata Samajbadi Party (JSP) Nepal has officially withdrawn its support from the federal government. A meeting of the party’s parliamentary committee held today (Wednesday) made the decision in accordance with the directive of the party’s central executive committee.

According to Purna Basnet, Chief of the Party’s Publicity and Publication Department, the decision was made based on the conclusion that the government’s performance over the past year has been below expectations.

Government Accused of Inaction and Middleman-Oriented Practices
Party Chairman Upendra Yadav described the overall performance of the government as “disappointing” and said it was no longer appropriate for the party to continue supporting it.

“The government remained silent on crucial issues like constitutional amendment and failed to initiate any concrete steps toward economic reform. Instead, controversial decisions and corruption have tarnished the government’s image,” said Chairman Yadav.

He further added, “The government ignored the real issues it should have addressed and meddled in matters it should have stayed away from, thereby creating unnecessary controversies. Supporting such a government would go against the moral principles of our party.”

Out of Power Even in Madhes Province
Although JSP Nepal was not a part of the federal government, it had been vying for leadership in Madhes Province. However, due to lack of cooperation from central political parties, the party has been sidelined even at the provincial level.

Eleven-Point List of Dissatisfaction
In its official statement, the party highlighted eleven key areas where the federal government failed:

1. Failure to assure good governance to the people.

2. Weak control over corruption, commission-based practices, and middlemen.

3. Economic stagnation and imbalanced budget formulation.

4. Indifference toward implementing federalism.

5. Lack of interest in developing agriculture, tourism, water resources, and industries.

6. No qualitative improvements in education, health, and drinking water services.

7. Insensitivity toward the problems of marginalized communities.

8. Failure to release detainees falsely charged during various protests.

9. Inaction in the process of constitutional amendment.

10. Failure to provide fertilizer, seeds, and loans to farmers at subsidized rates.

11. Rising unemployment due to lack of employment generation efforts.

With JSP Nepal’s withdrawal of support, the federal government is under increased pressure. This move has sparked speculation about possible shifts in the political landscape in the coming days.
