Nepal politics: We have thrown Bhattarai out, he betrayed us: Upendra Yadav

BY AVIJIT NANDI MAJUMDAR

​Baburam Bhattarai is a spent force and has no support. He has failed to show any direction and magnanimity in leadership and coalition politics, thundered former deputy Prime Minister and leader of the Janata Samajbadi Party, Upendra Yadav. 

Speaking exclusively to ANM News from Nepal over phone, Yadav mentioned that Bhattarai has been thrown out of the party. ``We have helped Sher Bahadur Dueba form the government and there are four ministers in the cabinet. All of them are with me, including the majority of senior party leaders,'' a confidant Yadav said. 

Accusing Baburam Bhattarai of trying to merge with his former communist colleagues, Yadav mentioned that traitors like him have no place in the party. If Bhattarai leaves then it will be the second split in the Janata Samajbadi party after Mahant Thakur and his supporters left last year to form Loktantrik Samajbadi party.
