KATHMANDU, MARCH 18

A meeting of the office-bearers of Janata Samajwadi Party (JSP) today remained inconclusive on which party it would support in forming a new government.

Lately, the JSP, a key player in forming a new government following the revival of CPN-UML and CPN (Maoist Centre), has continuously been engaged in dialogues to decide which party it would support to form a new government.

Similarly, a meeting of the party's central executive committee called for today itself has been postponed indefinitely, citing a lack of necessary homework for it. The meeting of the party office-bearers at party central office in Balkumari, Lalitpur, was called to do homework for the meeting of its executive committee.

A series of meetings held previously to decide which party it would side with to form a new government failed to reach any conclusion, said party leader Keshab Jha.

Earlier, a meeting of party top leaders, on March 15, had remained inconclusive on the matter as well. Likewise, a meeting of party office-bearers slated for March 16 was put off.

In this regard, earlier the party had held talks with Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, the CPN-UML, the CPN (Maoist Centre) and main opposition Nepali Congress.

The party has 32 members in the House of Representatives. However, its two parliamentarians have been suspended.
