Kathmandu, April 15: Rastriya Prajatantra Party’s senior leader Pashupati Shamser JB Rana has insisted on the need of holding the local-level election on the announced date.
“The local-level election is much-needed and it will be better to conduct it on the scheduled date by bringing the dissenting Madhesi Front on board,” he said while addressing a greetings exchange programme organised on the occasion of the Nepali New Year 2074 BS today.
He said the local level (rural municipality and municipality) are very powerful in a new federal structure and the government should convince the Madhesi Front to take part in the upcoming local election.
In his view, the election process being undertaken by the government is weak.
The post-earthquake reconstruction works, as he claimed, failed to take a momentum even after a long time, forcing the survivors to suffer more under makeshift shelters. Giving the reference of the 1934 Earthquake of Nepal, he said the then Prime Minister Juddha Shamser had succeeded in carrying out the post-disaster rebuilding works swiftly and accused the all governments formed after the 2015 April earthquake of becoming a failure to deal with the post-quake needs.
He went on to say that the party would be compelled to think whether it should stay in government or not if the Election Commission did not make a correction to its decision of omitting the Hindu nation and constitutional monarchy provision from the party’s statute.
On the occasion, artist Madan Das Shrestha, folk singer Kumar Basnet and Media Nepal’s chair Gopal Poudel stressed on the need for unity among all to push the country ahead on the path of progress and prosperity. RSS
