Senior Communist Leader Shrestha Pledges to Fight for Rights and Development in Sarlahi

Sarlahi. Senior leader of the Communist Party of Nepal and candidate for the House of Representatives seat from Sarlahi Constituency No. 3, Narayan Kaji Shrestha, has expressed his commitment to move forward resolutely for the rights, development, and overall prosperity of the people of Sarlahi.

Speaking at a program organized in Sarlahi, he clarified that although he was born in Gorkha, he does not have a permanent residence in any single place, and he will work from wherever necessary for the benefit of the country and the people. "Right now, I am here—in the lap of the people of Sarlahi," he said.

He emphasized the need to ensure permanent settlement for landless squatters, unorganized settlements, and working-class families, stating that he would stand with the people on the issue of distributing land ownership certificates and ensuring their rights.

Shrestha accused some parties and candidates of issuing circulars to remove squatter settlements even while they were in government, and urged caution against such tendencies. Furthermore, he appealed to the public to remain vigilant against the mindset that insults and divides the poor, laborers, farmers, landless squatters, Dalits, Janajatis, women, and marginalized communities.

"We brought about change through great struggle. Even now, we have not stopped struggling in favor of the poor and oppressed classes, castes, regions, and genders," he stated.

At the program, he assured the public and expressed three commitments: to fight for rights until the very end, to struggle alongside the people for development and prosperity, and to stand with them personally when they face problems, injustice, or hardship.

He mentioned that politics based on only showing up during elections, asking for votes, and then disappearing must change, and he committed to advancing politics centered on public service, justice, rights, and development.
