Key Points
- Balen Shah will inaugurate the Rastriya Swatantra Party's Madhesh election campaign in Janakpur on January 19.
- The rally marks Balen's first public address since becoming Kathmandu mayor and symbolizes a shift from his usual black attire to traditional kurta.
- The campaign targets the political vacuum and youth disillusionment in Madhesh by leveraging Balen's popularity as a prime ministerial candidate.
- RSP's presence in Madhesh has been weak, with no seats won in 2022, and the party aims to break stereotypes about Madheshi leadership through this rally.
