Nepali Congress Leader Gagan Thapa Resigns After Election Defeat; Artist Deepak Raj Giri Comments

Kathmandu. Nepali Congress President Gagan Thapa has resigned from his party post after being defeated in the election. Various debates have started regarding this issue.

In this context, artist Deepak Raj Giri has satirized the veteran politicians regarding this matter. Giri, who has been opposing the tendency of the older generation of leaders to cling to power and authority, sarcastically commented on Gagan Thapa's move as 'a new act that the elders never performed.'

He writes— 'He resigned just because he lost an election! Should one do something their elders never did? Good morning.'

In Nepal's political history, the culture of top leaders resigning from their posts even after losing an election or facing widespread criticism is very rare. Through this status, he has praised the morality shown by Gagan Thapa, while simultaneously targeting other leaders who do not relinquish their positions even after facing defeat.
