A group of veteran members of the Bell party has reportedly risen up against the party leadership for taking the party gradually away from the path of socialism to another one close to liberalism.

The dissidents have already decided to launch a new political party under the leadership of the son of the founder-leader of the Bell party with a long- term plan to induct him eventually as the leader of the Bell party. 

A group of ‘Peratugamists’ – Frontliners too has already expressed support to the Bell dissidents, they say.
