Former Nepali Congress supremo Ganeshman Singh, who launched a public awareness campaign in the mid-term elections saying, "Defeat corrupt candidates," was preparing to hold the second phase of the program again.

In the first phase, he had launched the 'Defeat the Corrupt Congress' campaign by supporting the candidates who rebelled against the official in the mid-term elections held on 29 Kartik 2051. Many of the candidates close to Koirala were among his targets to be defeated. The responsibility of running the campaign was assigned to Jagannath Acharya, a former leader of the Bhaktapur Congress.

Congress rebels had emerged in more than 50 constituencies. In particular, the conflict between Ganeshman and the then Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala also led to the increase in rebels. In some places, the Koirala faction had also fielded rebel candidates. Due to the rebel candidates and the internal conflict within the party, the Congress had become the second party in terms of public opinion in the mid-term elections. The main opposition UML not only became the first party by winning the most seats, but also formed a minority government.

The Congress, which had a majority in the 2048 Pratinisiva, had fallen to 83 seats in the mid-term elections. Ganeshman had organized a preparatory meeting in Kathmandu on 2051 Poush 6 to relaunch the campaign he had launched during the election.

The meeting was held with the leaders including Jagannath Acharya, Durga Subedi, National Assembly member Baburam Nakarmi, newly elected MP Pradeep Giri, leaders Yubaraj Sharma, Bhola Bohara, Managya Lakaul, Gulavshamsher Thapa, Navin Chitrakar, Tara Bahadur Koirala, Khadga Bikram Shah, Bhairav ​​Singh Rawal, Niranj Rajbhandari and others.

The meeting, which also included rebel candidates, informed that the second phase of the awareness campaign would be launched. Acharya had informed that a closed meeting of rebel candidates from across the country would be held. Acharya was the land reform minister in the 2048 cabinet. He resigned from the ministerial post after expressing dissatisfaction with Prime Minister Koirala for not allowing him to implement the 'revolutionary land reform' plan. Speaking at the gathering, leader Ganeshman said that he could not bear the insult and launched a party cleansing campaign. Although he was not surprised by Koirala's dishonesty, he expressed his anger saying that President Krishna Prasad Bhattarai had also betrayed him. He insisted that he was not trying to open a party but was running a campaign for reform. 'If I had been Bhartrihari, I could have become a Jogi,' he had said, 'Kisunji has betrayed the country.' Those who succeeded in defeating the official candidate by rebelling at the gathering were allowed to speak. The Congress, however, took action against all the rebels.

Ganeshman had announced his departure from the Nepali Congress before the mid-term elections. Congress spokesperson Taranath Ranabhat told Kantipur, ‘Whose role was it in the election? A report will be sought from the party organization at every level. Based on the report from the lower level, what to do with the rebels can be decided.’ He was of the opinion that the Congress did not wake up even after the election was rigged.

It was said that Durga Subedi became a rebel candidate due to policy disagreements in the program conducted by Ganeshman under the direction of Ganeshman. Subedi had become a rebel candidate against Girija Prasad from Morang in the mid-term elections. His deposit was confiscated.

MP Pradeep Giri had said that the party’s rebellion and chaos were due to the lack of a constitution. He had said that the rebels should work in the interest of the party. Journalist Nardev Pandey's reporting on Ganeshman's preparations for discussions with rebel candidates after the mid-term elections was published in Kantipur Daily on 2051 Poush 7 under the headline 'The game is about to begin: Ganeshman Singh'.
