Nepal Sadbhavana Party (Anandidevi) is a political party in Nepal. The party emerged out of a split in the Nepal Sadbhavana Party (Anandidevi) as the grouping around party president Anandidevi Singh moved to expel the general secretary of the NSP(A) and Minister for Industry, Commerce and Supply Shyam Sundar Gupta from the party. Since Gupta was not sacked from the government cabinet, Singh vowed to pull NSP(A) out of the Seven Party Alliance.^[1] Effectively, there were two separate NSP(A)s in existence. The group that retained the registration at the Election Commission of Nepal is the group led by Gupta, and the Nepal Sadbhavana Party (Anandidevi) led by Singh is currently unregistered.

After the Election Commission of Nepal had denied the Singh-led NSP(A) to file a candidate list for the proportional system vote in the Constituent Assembly election (since Gupta's NSP(A) retained the party election symbol), the party decided not to field any candidates in the First-Past-the-Post seats either.^[2]
