When Upendra Yadav-led party JSP Nepal got the opportunity to hold the reins of power for the second time in Madhesh province, the then Chief Minister Lal Babu Raut Gaddi wanted to become the Chief Minister again. Raut, who served the first term of the Madhesh government for 5 years, was hopeful that he would become the chief minister again.

However, Saroj Kumar Yadav, the then Speaker of Madhesh Province, who chose Jaspa Nepal about a year before the General Election 2079, was also seen in the Chief Minister's race.

Muslim community Raut is a confidant of party president Yadav . Therefore, Raut was confident that he would become the Chief Minister for the second term. While choosing the leader of the parliamentary party of Jaspa, the party president Yadav openly stood in favor of Saroj .

President Yadav pressured the MPs to vote for Saroj if there is an election to elect a leader. After Raut's insistence did not work, he "supported" Saroj and dropped out of the race to become the leader of the parliamentary party.

Jaspa Nepal became the largest party in Madhesh province in the first election of the regional structure in 074, but in the second election in 079, it shrunk as the third party. JSP Nepal was given a big blow in Madhesh by CK Raut's party Janmat Party in the last election.

Raut's party, which returned to mainstream politics from the 'Separatism' campaign, became the fourth largest party in Janmat Madhesh by winning 13 seats. Even though public opinion in Madhesh shared power in the Jaspa Nepal led government, there was no good relationship between these two parties.

Yadav community has the largest population in 8 districts of Madhesh. JSP president Upendra is accused of ripping off Yadav in the party. In Madhesh province, although Raut is an aspirant for the chief ministership, Upendra was accused of tearing Yadav after putting Saroj ahead.

There is a 'hostile' relationship between Jaspa Nepal and Janmat Party in Madhesh. When Mahesh Prasad Yadav, the leader of the parliamentary party of Janmaat Party, was the Minister of Education, the then Chief Minister Saroj made Upendra the chief guest at the building foundation ceremony of the Rajviraj Agricultural University under his ministry's jurisdiction. There was a clash in the Shilanyas program amid opposition and obstruction of public opinion . In the presence of Chief Minister Yadav, the police lashed out at the then Education Minister Mahesh and the leaders-activists of Janmaat Party.

Maoist leader Bharat Prasad Shah also joined the referendum campaign to topple the Jaspa-led government in Madhesh. After the disintegration of Jaspa Nepal, the Saroj Kumar Yadav-led government was reduced to a minority, and an attempt was made to form a new government in the alliance of UML, Maoists, Janmaat and CPN(S).

After the federal power coalition decided to go to the government under the leadership of Janmat Party in Madhesh Province, many people speculated that Yadav (Janamat's Mahesh Prasad Yadav) would become the Chief Minister again in Madhesh Province. Being the leader of Janmaat Party's parliamentary party, Mahesh was also confident that he would be the Chief Minister.

But, suddenly on Wednesday, there was a news that Janmaat Party has nominated Satish Kumar Singh as the chief minister of Madhesh province . This news, which surprised many people, was even more shocking for Mahesh, the leader of the parliamentary party of the Janmat Party. There are other senior leaders in the Janmat Party than Satish from the Rajput (Kshetri) community. If not Mahesh, there was speculation that Basant Kushwaha or Chandan Singh would be promoted by the Janamat Party as Chief Minister.

Roshan Janakpuri, a political analyst from Janakpur, says that Singh's ascension to power cannot be linked to the caste card. Upendraji is always accused of playing the Yadav card. However, when he works for his party and personal interests, it is seen that way," analyst Janakpuri said, "Janmaat is a small party. If you get stuck on the caste card now, you will be in trouble . Rautka Singh is an old friend . He might have made the Chief Minister without understanding something.' In promoting Singh, Raut's policy of not re-appointing those who have had an opportunity once again in government positions has also worked . Even in the federal government, when the opportunity to become a minister came up, CK did not participate even though he was the leader of the parliamentary party. Now, even when the opportunity to become the Chief Minister came, he chose others over the leader of the parliamentary party.
