Lamichhane thanks PM Modi for recognising the democratic mandate of Nepali people
Rastriya Swatantra Party chief Rabi Lamichhane thanked PM Modi for his warm wishes and recognising the democratic mandate of the Nepali people.
“RSP and our government will remain dedicated to fostering a relationship built on mutual respect and shared prosperity where RSP will prioritize on ‘development diplomacy’,” he said.
Lamichhane further stated that the RSP government will “look forward to a partnership with India that scales new heights through cooperation in connectivity, cultural tourism, energy, and trade, ensuring a prosperous future for the people of both countries.”
The Balen Shah-led RSP registered a landslide victory in Nepal’s first elections since the Gen-Z revolt in September last year that toppled the Communist-led coalition government headed by Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli.
The RLP won 125 out of 165 seats, while the Gagan Thapa-led Nepal Congress was reduced to just 18 seats. Pushpa Kamal Dahal-led Nepal Communist Party could manage to win just 7 seats.
