Rabi Lamichhane: RSP's mandate is to transform the system, not just run the government

Kathmandu. Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) Chairman Rabi Lamichhane has clarified that the mandate received by his party is not merely to run the government, but to change the existing system and working style. Addressing the first meeting of the House of Representatives on Thursday, he stated that the votes received by the RSP are a reflection of the hopes and frustrations of the Nepali people. 

He also pledged to move forward responsibly while respecting the sentiments and mandate of the people. Chairman Lamichhane stated that the people chose the RSP in search of change and promised to repay that trust through actions. 

He emphasized that the time has come for the party and the government to prove their relevance through result-oriented work rather than just words. 'The votes we received are not just for support, they are votes for change,' he said in the House, 'The mandate given by the people is not to run Singha Durbar, but to change the state of Singha Durbar.' Claiming that they have already started the change, he stressed that RSP lawmakers must now prove themselves through their work.

During his address, he expressed confidence that the government's actions will speak for themselves in the coming days. Committing that his party will not make any compromises on the issue of good governance, he stated that they would bring radical improvements in corruption control and service delivery.

 Indicating that public dissatisfaction with the working style of old political parties was the main reason for the rise of the RSP, he claimed to establish a new political culture in line with public expectations. Urging other parties present in the House to understand public sentiment and work accordingly, he made it clear that the RSP will always stand on the side of the people.
