Rastriya Swatantra Party Begins Orientation for Newly Elected Lawmakers in Lalitpur

Kathmandu. The Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP), which achieved historic success in the House of Representatives elections, began a special orientation program for its newly elected lawmakers in Lalitpur starting Tuesday.

The RSP, which emerged as a major force by winning a total of 182 seats in the election held on Falgun 21, with 125 in the first-past-the-post category and 57 in proportional representation, has started training its newly elected representatives on parliamentary practice and the party's future direction. Experts are providing training over the two-day program on parliamentary systems, policy formulation, parliamentary procedures, and the responsibilities of people's representatives.

Addressing the orientation session, RSP Vice Chairman DP Aryal stated that although the party won the election, the country and the people still have victories to achieve. He instructed the lawmakers to work in a way that eradicates corruption and makes every Nepali feel that 'the government exists for me.'

Aryal emphasized that this great success was achieved due to the hope, trust, and confidence the public placed in Party Chairman Rabi Lamichhane and senior leader Balen Shah, stressing the need to utilize this opportunity to write history for the nation.

Another Vice Chairman, Dr. Swarnim Wagle, stated that the elected representatives must be more aware and active while respecting the mandate received from the public. Reminding that the main job of lawmakers is lawmaking, he clarified that even when the government is led by their own party, they should not shy away from the role of reviewing, monitoring, and overseeing the government's work.

Wagle mentioned that everyone must put in extra effort, both individually and collectively, to do justice to the dignity of the position. The training provided in-depth information to the lawmakers on the lawmaking process, planning and budget formulation, good governance, and political culture.

In this highly disciplined and organized orientation program, the lawmakers are currently discussing how to implement the current state of the country and the commitments made by the party to the public.

This program, where top party leaders will address the participants, will conclude on Wednesday. The RSP aims to develop a new political culture through its strong presence in this parliament.
