Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) Chairman Rajendra Lingden said Nepal’s politics was facing a period of uncertainty and that only his party could provide the country with a way out. He made the remarks in Kathmandu on 27 Ashoj while addressing the Kathmandu district convention of the Nepal Sanatan Dharma Sanskriti Sangathan, where he also claimed that other political parties had already failed.
Lingden’s assessment of the political situation
Lingden described the country’s political climate as being under “dark clouds of uncertainty.” His remarks presented the situation as one in which the existing political course was not offering a satisfactory answer to the country’s challenges. He did not merely criticise the political environment: he argued that the RPP was the party capable of providing a way forward.
The claim was a direct appeal for confidence in the RPP, framed against Lingden’s assessment of the performance of other parties. He said those parties had already failed, positioning the RPP as an alternative. The statement reflects Lingden’s political argument at the convention; it is not an independent finding about the performance of every political party or the country’s prospects.
Remarks at Kathmandu district convention
Lingden spoke at the Kathmandu district convention of the Nepal Sanatan Dharma Sanskriti Sangathan, an event held in Kathmandu on 27 Ashoj. The address placed his comments about national politics before an audience gathered for the organisation’s district convention. The reported remarks focused on political uncertainty, the alleged failure of other parties and the RPP’s claim to offer a solution.
The convention provided a platform for the RPP chairman to make his case for his party. In his address, Lingden linked his criticism of other political parties to the need for an alternative, saying the RPP alone could lead the country out of its current uncertainty. The reported account does not specify a particular policy proposal or programme accompanying that claim.
A claim of political alternatives
Lingden’s remarks drew a sharp contrast between the RPP and its political rivals. By saying other parties had failed, he argued that the country should look to his party for a way forward. The statement therefore served both as a criticism of competing parties and as a pitch for the RPP’s political role.
The address, as reported, did not set out details of how the RPP would resolve the uncertainty Lingden described. Instead, its central message was that the party could provide the country with an exit from the present political situation. His argument rests on his assessment that other parties have not succeeded and that the RPP is uniquely positioned to lead an alternative course.
Lingden’s comments add to the party’s public case for presenting itself as a solution to Nepal’s political challenges. At the Kathmandu gathering, he used the language of uncertainty and failure to argue for the RPP’s relevance. The core of his message was clear: in his view, the other parties have not delivered, and the RPP is the only force capable of giving the country a way out.
