KATHMANDU, Jan 15: Rajendra Mahato, the second leader of Loktantrik Samajwadi Party (LSP), who is preparing to launch a new party, has reached New Delhi. His family sources said that he is scheduled to return to Kathmandu after three days.
Mahato has now declared a ‘national liberation revolution’. Lately, there have been serious differences between LSP Chairman Mahanta Thakur and Mahato. Due to this dispute, Mahato boycotted the central committee meeting called by Thakur.

According to a source close to Mahato, now Mahato has reached various districts of Madhesh to understand the views of activists on the matter of starting a new party. Leaders close to Mahato say that Thakur and Mahato are no longer in the same party.
In August 2021, Thakur, Mahato, Sharat Singh Bhandari, Anil Jha and other leaders split the Janata Samajwadi Party (JSP) and formed the LSP.
Less than two years after the formation of LSP, a fierce controversy has arisen within the party. According to the law, Mahato can no longer split the LSP, but he can start a new party. In the law related to the division of political parties, there is a provision that a party created by a split from one party cannot be split for at least next five years.
