Info here is wrong.

n May 1971 the Koshi Regional Committe of the party, in the Jhapa district, initiated an armed revolt. This insurrection was started without the approval of the party leadership. The young Jhapa revolutionaries, led by Mohan Chandra Adhikari, Chandra Prakash Mainali and Radha Krishna Mainali, were inspired by the Indian Naxalites and started to liquidate landlords and other perceived class enemies. The Jhapa movement was brutally suppressed by the state forces. Hundreds of followers of the movement were killed, jailed or forced into exile. In 1975 the leaders of the Jhapa movement would regroup and form the All Nepal Communist Revolutionary Coordination Committee (Marxist-Leninist).

Comment;
East Kosi Provincuial Committee (not just Koshi) committee was a group of the old NKP that was independent from the effective collapse of the old party in 1965. It NEVER WAS in the NKP(Pushpa Lal).
It was sortoff under Man Mohan Adhikari in 1970-71 and broke from him when it began the rebellion.
Nor did it endorse the Jhapeli repellition. On the contrary, it collapsed as a result of contradictions round the Jhapa rebellion, and several groups went out of it.

This is wrong too:

In 1979 one of the main leaders of the party and formed general secretary of the united CPN, Man Mohan Adhikari, broke away to form his own Communist Party of Nepal. Man Mohan's party had been seen as more pro-China than Pushpa Lal. In the same year Bisnu Bahadur Manandhar also broke away and formed his own CPN.

Comment:
two gross errors here:
1) Man Mohan Ahdikari never was a member of the NKP(Pushpa Lal). He was a former gensec of the pre 1960 NKP, and he was imprisoned from the early 1960s. Came out in 1969 (after NKP (PL) was formed) imprisoned again in 1970, out again in 1971.
He then in december 1971 joined Mohan Bikram Singh in forming the Central Nucleus , an organisation set up to unify various communist groups and recreate the disintegrated NKP. However, discussions with Pushpa Lal Shresta failed. The unity movement didnt come off, Adhikari and Sing developted differences and created separate parties.
2) Neither was Mandahar ever a meber of the NKP(Pushpa Lal)!
On the contrary, he was a member of the "royal russian" NKP(Rayamajhi) founded in 1962-63 in a SPLIT with just Pushpa Lal & co!
In 1981, he took the majority in the NKP(Rayamajhi), expulsed the old party leader, and the party from then on was known as the NKP(Mandahar).
NOTHING AT ALL to do with the NKP (Pushpa Lal)!
