Rastriya Swatantra Party's Balen Shah Concludes Sudurpaschim Election Campaign Without Public Addresses

Kanchanpur. Senior leader of the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP), Balendra Shah (Balen), who began the election campaign for the upcoming House of Representatives elections from Lamki in Kailali, concluded his election campaign tour of Sudurpaschim Province today.

Senior leader Balen, who covered the party's election campaign in the two Terai districts of Sudurpaschim Province, Kailali and Kanchanpur, along with the seven hilly districts, conducted a silent campaign among supporters and party leaders and cadres without addressing any gatherings.

Although he visited party offices and candidates' election contact offices in the districts, ringing the bell among supporters, he did not address any programs.

Balen, whom the Rastriya Swatantra Party has put forward as a future Prime Ministerial candidate, had started the Sudurpaschim election campaign four days ago from Lamki in Kailali Constituency No. 2.

RSP has nominated young leader KP Khanal as the candidate for the House of Representatives from Kailali-2. Khanal is known within RSP as a young leader close to Balen.

During the election campaign, while interacting and holding brief discussions with his party's candidates, he refrained from public speeches but posted photos on social media with status updates written in the Doteli language during his journey.

After Lamki, Shah traveled via Dhangadhi to Punarbas in Kanchanpur Constituency No. 1, and on the same day, visited the party offices in Shuklaphanta and Mahendranagar in Kanchanpur, ringing the bell and presenting himself to well-wishers.

During this time, pictures of Shah tasting the famous 'Baje ko Khir' (Grandfather's Kheer) in Dadeldhura, taking photos with snow, and observing various locations went viral on social media.

Harish Bhatta, a leader of the Rastriya Swatantra Party, informed that after concluding the election campaign in various locations of the hilly districts of Sudurpaschim—Dadeldhura, Baitadi, Darchula, Bajhang, Bajura, Achham, and Doti—Balen's team departed for Karnali on Friday.

"Balen has now reached Manma in Kalikot," said RSP's proportional representation House of Representatives candidate Bhatta, "Soon, when the party organizes provincial government election rallies, the party's top leaders will address them."

According to leader Bhatta, during his Sudurpaschim tour, senior leader Balen was gathering information from the party's candidates regarding existing local problems, the status of voters, and the party's standing.

"He held brief discussions with the candidates," Bhatta said, "Balen's Sudurpaschim visit has generated enthusiasm." He stated that the addresses were avoided keeping the election code of conduct in mind. Bhatta added that he exchanged warm greetings with supporters met along the way during short meetings in the districts and his journey towards Karnali.

RSP leaders stated that the craze for Balen was extremely visible during his Sudur journey.
