National Independent Party's Makwanpur Chapter Chief Resigns, Rejoins Congress

Makwanpur. Bharat Parajuli, the District Chairman of the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) in Makwanpur, has resigned from the party citing dissatisfaction with the behavior of the party leadership. Following his departure from RSP, he has returned to the Nepali Congress.

Ishwar Pathak, Secretary of the Nepali Congress Makwanpur, informed that Parajuli, who was also the founding chairman of RSP Makwanpur, was welcomed back into the Congress party by Congress President Gagan Thapa from Sarlahi-4. Along with him, Nirajan Bartoula, the RSP's election coordinator for Makwanpur Constituency No. 2, has also returned to the Congress.

In the last general election of 2079 BS, Parajuli had contested as a candidate for RSP in Makwanpur Constituency No. 2, finishing third with 12,059 votes. After leaving RSP, Parajuli accused the current leadership of abandoning the commitment made during RSP's founding period to promote youth politics and select capable individuals, rising above nepotism, favoritism, and financial influence.

He further claimed that he was compelled to leave the party because the methodology, decision-making process, and working style adopted by the party recently have gone contrary to its founding values, bylaws, and public commitments.

Parajuli stated that the lack of proper evaluation for dedicated leaders and workers within the organization, the increase in activities against party rules and regulations, and the declining transparency in the decision-making process have questioned his self-respect and political values. Concluding that he could not remain silent in such a situation, he announced his decision to separate from the party's general membership as well.
