Formation edit
The party was formed after a split in the mother party, People's Socialist Party, Nepal led by Upendra Yadav when a group of MPs, MLAs, and central leaders alleged the party chair to be authoritarian and going against the interest of the ruling collision government of Nepal.[4]
The group filed application for party split at election commission on 5 May 2023 which included MPs Ashok Rai, Nawal Kishor Sah, Hasina Khan, Ranju Kumari Jha, Pradeep Yadav, Birendra Prasad Mahato and Sushila Shrestha including Rastriya Sabha MP Mrigendra Kumar Singh Yadav.[3][5] The party received its recognition from Election Commission on 6 May 2024.[2]
