(May 23, Bara)
The extended district-level meeting of the Rashtriya Swatantra Party (Raswapa) in Bara faced an attempt to be disrupted. After the party expelled district chairman Chandan Swarnakar, removing him even as a general member, his supporters protested vocally at the event venue in Kalaiya. Ganesh Dhimal, Member of Parliament from Bara 1, stated that despite attempts by Swarnakar’s supporters to disrupt the program, the party’s scheduled event proceeded as planned.
The supporters demanded that Swarnakar’s expulsion be revoked and chanted slogans against the MPs from Bara. When attempts were made to physically assault MPs Rahbar Ansari, Ganesh Dhimal, Arbind Sah, and Chandan Singh at the venue, police intervened and escorted the lawmakers out. Presently, significant police deployment is maintaining order as the event continues at Karanraj Hotel in Kalaiya.
Swarnakar, who has been expelled from the party, alleged that the Bara district MPs tried to form the district committee with only their close associates, which led to protests from longtime party workers.
