In 1972, SSP was reunited with PSP, forming the Socialist Party.[1] But in December 1972, SSP was recreated after the split in Socialist Party.[2] One faction of SSP led by Madhu Limaye and George Fernandes wanted to merge with PSP but another faction led by Raj Narain resisted the merger with PSP.[2]
