Shivshankar Yadav, a former protestor, enters parliament

Kathmandu. Shivshankar Yadav always stood at the forefront of street protests. Whether for the justice of sugarcane farmers or in support of meter-interest victims, he took to the streets in anti-corruption protests or in favor of good governance.

He, who stood in the crowd of protests and raised a strong voice, Shivshankar Yadav (Shiv) has now reached parliament. Having gained prominence after the Genji movement, he is now playing his role in the forum where policies are made.

The youth Yadav, who has been raising a strong voice from the streets in favor of the justice of Madhesi people and sugarcane farmers, has made good governance his main agenda. He is also the Madhes Province Coordinator of the Council of Genji (Sudan Gurung Group).

Last February, Shivshankar Yadav (Shiv), who became a candidate for the House of Representatives from Siraha-2 from the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP), was victorious with a large majority. In the 2079 election, Yadav, who was a candidate for the House of Representatives from 'Hamro Nepali Party', had secured the fifth position at that time.

Yadav, who reached parliament by raising his voice on the streets, has said that he will address the voices of Genji youth. 'Youth have raised issues of good governance and corruption. I will address them,' he said, 'I will continuously work to establish and upgrade the Bariyarpatti small customs office.'

He said that as a person who came from protests, he has closely understood the value of struggle, the pain of the people, and the needs of the border areas, and will take initiatives to solve them. 

Among the active youth in the Genji movement, only a few got tickets, and Shivshankar Yadav is one of them. In the 082 election, Yadav received 39,561 votes. His competitor, Nepali Congress candidate Ramchandra Yadav, received 12,814 votes. Shivshankar Yadav won by a margin of 26,747 votes.
