Kamal Thapa Expresses Dissatisfaction Over Unresolved Organizational Adjustments Post-Party Unification

Kathmandu. National Prajatantra Party (RPP) leader Kamal Thapa has expressed dissatisfaction, stating that organizational adjustments have not progressed even as five months have passed since the unification between RPP and RPP Nepal.

He has drawn the attention of Chairman Rajendra Lingden, citing that despite the unification of the two parties on January 16 with the objective of building a strong nationalist force in the country, adjustments at the central and local levels have not yet been made. 

Expressing his views through social media on Thursday, leader Thapa stated that even though a long time has passed since the party unification, the integration of sister organizations has been left in limbo, and a formal letter of party unification could not even be sent to the Election Commission.

He argued that this delay has increased confusion and uncertainty among the cadres of both parties. Mentioning that the need for an alternative nationalist force with a Hindu nation and monarchy is becoming more apparent in the current political situation of the country, Thapa demanded that the adjustment process be concluded immediately according to the concept paper decided at the time of unification.

Immediately after the public release of Thapa's statement, RPP spokesperson Mohan Shrestha gave a clarification through Facebook. Spokesperson Shrestha, while admitting that there was some delay due to having to go into elections immediately after the party unification, stated that the adjustment work has not stopped but is in process. According to him, 7 people from RPP Nepal have been adjusted into the central working performance committee of RPP so far.

Spokesperson Shrestha informed that the central working performance committee meeting held on May 1st has also assigned responsibilities to finalize the adjustment work of the remaining bodies. According to him, Senior Vice-Chairman Buddhiman Tamang from RPP and leader Rajiv Parajuli from the then RPP Nepal have been given the responsibility for this. Spokesperson Shrestha clarified that there is no intention to stop or delay the adjustment and urged the leaders and cadres to engage in the regular work and convention of the party with high morale.
