Rastriya Prajatantra Party Leader Khushbu Oli Blames Current System for Nepal's Crisis, Calls for Monarchy Restoration

Jhapa. Khushbu Oli, a leader of the Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) and a proportional representation candidate for the House of Representatives, stated that the country is mired in a serious crisis due to the failure of the current political system and leadership.

Addressing an election rally in Bhaigundhara Bazaar, Jhapa, on Monday, she emphasized that there is no alternative to the restoration of the monarchy and a Hindu nation for the country's self-respect and development.

Referring to a torn national flag at the rally site during her address, Oli said, "This torn flag is a mirror of our country's current condition. Our self-respect and honor are similarly torn. Political party leaders have reduced the state of the nation to rags, just like this flag. Now, the responsibility to change this has fallen upon our shoulders."

Sharply criticizing the republic system, Oli accused it of only drowning the country in a mountain of debt. "After the advent of the republic, the country has sunk into over 30 trillion rupees of debt. Those who once agitated the streets saying the King's expenditure was 12 crore are now finishing 400 crore in the name of tea parties and extravagance," she stated. "Those who claimed we couldn't afford to maintain one king now have to maintain thousands of corrupt and opportunistic leaders as kings."

She expressed concern over the diminished value of the Nepali passport and the compulsion for youth to shed blood and sweat on foreign lands. "Yesterday, our passport commanded respect in European countries; today, it is weaker than that of African nations. Industries in the country have been shut down, and only the business of selling our youth is taking place," she added.

Opposing religious conversion and cultural interference, Oli clarified that the issue of a Hindu nation is the RPP's main agenda. "Our civilization and Hinduism are under attack. We must recognize the 'deceptive Ravana' figures who wear saffron robes and visit temples during elections. We will not compromise on the defense of our religion and culture," she said.

Speaking on local issues in Jhapa, particularly concerning public grazing land (ailani jaggas), Oli accused major parties of using the public merely as a vote bank for years.
