Rastriya Swatantra Party Prioritizes Madhesh Province Amidst Internal Strife
Summary
Rastriya Swatantra Party chairman Rabi Lamichhane is in Janakpurdham for Chhath celebrations as the party faces growing internal disputes and questions over its support in Madhesh Province. Party leaders are preparing to review a report on the conflict while critics say the party has failed to deliver visible change in the region.
Key Points
- RSP chairman Rabi Lamichhane visited Janakpurdham for Chhath festivities and said the party will not seek votes again unless it can show real change in Madhesh.
- Party officials and MPs from Madhesh Province gathered around Lamichhane’s visit, while Speaker Dol Prasad Aryal also went to Birgunj for Chhath.
- Internal disputes between Lamichhane and Prime Minister Balen Shah have deepened, and the party has delayed its Madhesh convention.
- Analysts say RSP’s appeal in Madhesh has weakened because people have not felt promised change despite the party’s earlier strong electoral performance.
