Nepal braces for electoral fireworks as RPP releases a manifesto demanding monarchy’s comeback and a return to Hindu nation status under Sanatan Dharma principles. Unveiled by President Rajendra Lingden in Kathmandu, it adopts ‘Prithvi Path’ from Prithvi Narayan Shah’s teachings as the nation’s roadmap, outright dismissing secular policies.
Structural reforms dominate: eliminate provinces for a dual central-local system, overhaul elections, enforce zero corruption, and prioritize effective rule. Tailored for March 5 elections, it presents six economic pillars for prosperity, vowing to elevate the Mahendra Highway to global standards in three years and launch an energy production decade.
The corruption crackdown slogan ‘We will be crushed, but not corrupted’ backs probes into leaders’ wealth since 1990 and asset seizures. Social pledges criminalize casteism, untouchability, and religious biases, promising protection for all faiths to ensure equality and freedom.
This manifesto weaves political steadiness, administrative excellence, economic growth, and social equity into a vision of renewed Nepal, potentially reshaping the country’s constitutional debate.
