Rastriya Swatantra Party Begins Two-Day Orientation for Newly Elected MPs

Kathmandu. The Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) has started a two-day residential orientation program for its newly elected members of parliament. The program was inaugurated on Tuesday at Hotel Royal Tulip in Gwarko, Lalitpur, with the ringing of a bell by Deputy Chairpersons Swarnim Wagle and DP Aryal.

Party Chairman Rabi Lamichhane and senior leader Balendra Shah (Balen) did not participate on the first day of the orientation. General Secretary Kabindra Burlakoti informed that Chairman Lamichhane and senior leader Balen Shah will participate in the closing ceremony on Wednesday.

'It has been agreed that both leaders will participate on Wednesday,' General Secretary Burlakoti told Ratopati. Chairman Lamichhane is slightly unwell, while Balen is busy formulating the modality of the new government to be formed under his leadership.

Meanwhile, Deputy Chairperson Aryal, while giving a congratulatory speech, informed that both leaders would participate in Wednesday's program if possible. Although the RSP's program schedule mentions Chairman Lamichhane's participation on Wednesday, it has not disclosed anything about Shah. Leaders and experts will provide information on parliamentary politics, party strategy, vision, and policy priorities during the orientation.

Furthermore, RSP Spokesperson Manish Jha stated that the orientation is organized with the objectives of clarifying parliamentary procedures, lawmaking, policy analysis, and the role of people's representatives to the newly elected MPs, and to help them become effective, accountable, and result-oriented representatives.
