Youth Wing Leader Challenges Independent Party's Balen Shah on Stance on Kalapani, Lipulekh, Limpiyadhura

Kathmandu. The Chairman of the National Youth Association Nepal, affiliated with the CPN (UML), Kshitij Thebe, has challenged the senior leader of the Rastriya Swatantra Party, Balen Shah, to publicly state his official position on Limpiyadhura, Kalapani, and Lipulekh. He issued this challenge while addressing the first meeting of the National Youth Council in Kathmandu on Friday.

"What is your statement regarding Lipulekh and Limpiyadhura, Mr. Prime Ministerial candidate?" Thebe questioned. He also commented that the so-called new political parties lack concrete policies, vision, and agendas. He further challenged leader Shah to debate with the prospective prime ministerial candidates. He asserted that the nationwide expansion of electricity access was achieved under the leadership of the UML.

He stated, "The new ones have no agenda. If they had an agenda, why didn't they show up when the mass media called for a debate? They should come if they have an agenda. In the past Rana regime, only 6 percent of people had access to electricity. We have brought 98 percent of citizens within the reach of electricity. We have brought change. We have developed IT in all public schools. We have moved forward with zero tolerance for corruption. Did we or did we not include Limpiyadhura, Kalapani, and Lipulekh in Nepal's map? Mr. prospective Prime Minister, let's see your statement. Tell us, what is your statement regarding Lipulekh and Limpiyadhura?"

Chairman Thebe also mentioned that the party is going to the public with an agenda to make society happy and prosperous after the upcoming general elections. —News Agency Nepal
