Nepal Sadbhavana Party (Anandidevi) (2008)
Encyclopedia
Nepal Sadbhavana Party (Anandidevi) is a political party
in Nepal
. The party emerged out of a split in the Nepal Sadbhavana Party (Anandidevi)
as the grouping around Khushi Lal Mandal and Sarita Giri moved to expel the general secretary of the NSP(A) and Minister for Industry, Commerce and Supply Shyam Sundar Gupta from the party. Since Gupta was not sacked from the government cabinet, Singh vowed to pull NSP(A) out of the Seven Party Alliance
. Effectively, there were two separate NSP(A)s in existence. The group that retained the registration at the Election Commission of Nepal
is the group led by Gupta, and the Nepal Sadbhavana Party (Anandidevi) led by Mandal is currently unregistered.
After the Election Commission of Nepal had denied the Mandal-led NSP(A) to file a candidate list for the proportional system vote in the Constituent Assembly election
(since Gupta's NSP(A) retained the party election symbol), the party decided not to field any candidates in the First-Past-the-Post seats either.
