Former President Vidya Devi Bhandari has said politics should be understood as a responsibility toward society and the nation, rather than as a means of obtaining office.
Speaking at an event, Bhandari stressed that political work should be guided by a sense of duty to the country and its people, according to Nepali media reports published on October 4, 2026.
Politics as responsibility
Bhandari said that seeking positions should not be the purpose of politics. Instead, she described political engagement as a duty to serve society and the nation.
