Resham Chaudhary, founder of the Nagarik Unmukti Party, said Nepali Congress President Gagan Kumar Thapa can lead Nepal. Chaudhary made the remarks during a goodwill speech at the Nepali Congress’ 15th General Convention in Kathmandu on Sunday.
Alongside his support for Thapa’s leadership, Chaudhary raised questions about the country’s shift to a republic. He asked why religion was “exchanged” for a republic and recalled the 19-day movement that led to the establishment of the republic.
