Pushpa Kamal Dahal and Madhav Kumar Nepal, who lead a faction of the Nepal Communist Party (NCP), were on February 25 cold-shouldered by Janata Samajbadi Party-Nepal (JSP-N) leaders when they went to urge them to join hands with their party to form a new Government, reports The Himalayan Times. The two NCP leaders met Mahantha Thakur, Rajendra Mahato, and Rajendra Shrestha hoping to enlist JSP-N's support for NCP's endeavour to replace the KP Sharma Oli-led Government.
