CPN Leader Som Prasad Pandey Pledges Completion of Incomplete Development Projects in Palpa

Butwal. Nepali Communist Party (CPN) leader and candidate for Palpa Constituency No. 2, Som Prasad Pandey, stated that completing the unfinished development construction projects in the district is his main priority. Addressing a press conference in Butwal today, Pandey, a former minister, claimed that after his defeat in the 2079 elections, Palpa's development failed to gain momentum, and he is re-entering the election race at the urging of the locals.

Pandey mentioned that he has played a continuous role in Palpa's development, both while holding office and after leaving it. Recalling his special initiative for the construction of the Siddhababa Tunnel, he revealed that 10 billion rupees were only secured after he warned the then Finance Minister Yuba Raj Khatiwada that he would go on a hunger strike for the budget.

Presenting his plan to make Palpa a tourism hub, Pandey put forward a new plan to build Nepal's largest Buddha Garden statue if he wins the election. He is committed to bringing a revolution in tourism and infrastructure development by utilizing the proximity of Palpa and Butwal. 

On the same occasion, Pandey brought up the context of the Supreme Court, commenting that not only the court but the very sovereignty of the Nepali people has been burned.
