Organizing a press conference on Tuesday, the chairperson of the Republican Sports Federation, Jayandra Bahadur Chand, alleged that the splinter faction was power hungry. "We are not objecting to the formation of the new organization but we condemn their effort to defame our organization," said Chand.
The Progressive Sports Federation has alleged Chairperson Chand of surrendering to the "sports mafia".
"They should have searched resolution within the federation. They are opportunists with no faith in the party and they are not for the development of sports," alleged Chand.
