Nepali Congress President Gagan Thapa Visits Home Constituency in Sarlahi, Pledges Service to Madhes People

Sarlahi. Nepali Congress President Gagan Kumar Thapa has reached his constituency, Sarlahi Constituency No. 4, today.

Addressing cadres from the party's regional office in Dhankol, Constituency No. 4, Thapa stated that he has come to be a servant to the citizens of Sarlahi Constituency No. 4.

Thapa committed to always stand with the people here in their joys and sorrows, and mentioned that he is well aware of the debt the Madhes owes to the Congress party. Remembering the late leader Pradip Giri, he noted that he learned a lot about the Madhes region from Giri.

While he had the opportunity to learn about the hills and Kathmandu from his family, he expressed happiness at now having the opportunity to understand the Madhes as a representative himself. Thapa informed that this is his first visit to the Madhes region since being elected party president at the second special general convention. He also stated that the contribution made by the Madhes to the Congress and democracy can never be forgotten.

Thapa said his visit to Sarlahi was an effort to bring the Madhes within himself and bring himself into the Madhes. He also unveiled a program to actively work on solving the problems of the citizens here by opening temporary offices in Sarlahi-4 and Kathmandu.

During his approximately 15-minute address, Thapa did not level accusations against any political party or leader. Thapa clarified that he came not to speak against anyone, but to be a servant to the citizens.

Thapa formally began his election activities today by visiting the Mukteshwar Babadham temple in Murtia this afternoon before entering Constituency No. 4.

He informed that he will stay in Sarlahi for four days, then participate in election programs in various parts of the country as the party president, and subsequently return to Sarlahi-4 for door-to-door campaigning.
