KATHMANDU: Rajendra Lingden, Chairman of the Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) and leader of the monarchist alliance preparing for a national movement beginning on Jestha 15 (May 29), is set to interact with youth and professionals under the age of 40 on the eve of the campaign.
The event, titled “Why change the system to change the situation? RPP with Youth,” will be held on May 26 at the Rastriya Sabha Griha, Exhibition Road, in the capital.
According to Prakash Rimal, head of the RPP’s Youth Department, the program aims to address the concerns and questions of young people regarding the party’s agenda and policies.
Lingden will directly respond to queries from youth on topics such as the systemic change proposed by the RPP, its calls for the restoration of the monarchy, the re-establishment of a Hindu nation, and the abolition of federalism.
He will also explain why the RPP believes youth should take part in the upcoming movement, according to Rimal.
The event is structured to encourage open dialogue, allowing participants to ask questions not only about the party’s political platform but also its positions on economic and social issues.
Rimal emphasized that the program seeks to clarify the RPP’s vision for the future, including what steps the party plans to take after the movement.
“There is a widespread notion that the RPP only talks about the monarchy. But today’s youth need to understand what kind of monarchy the RPP supports, and how our agenda relates to their daily lives,” Rimal said.
“This is an effort to awaken young people to why we are challenging the current system.”
The RPP has invited youth from both political and non-political sectors, hoping to counter the perception that the party represents only the older generation.
In the lead-up to the May 29 protest, the RPP has already held discussions with intellectuals, the Newar community of Kathmandu Valley, and organized cadre gatherings across the Valley.
