KATHMANDU: Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) Chairperson Rabi Lamichhane has said that the current government is working to lay a strong foundation for the next 15–20 years, even though its immediate achievements may not be visible.
Speaking at a program organized by the RSP in Kathmandu on Wednesday to mark International Youth Day, Lamichhane said that although the government may appear to have accomplished little in its four months in office, it is working to establish a strong foundation for the country’s long-term development.
He said the significant presence of young people in Parliament and the election of a young prime minister in his mid-30s are major historic achievements for Nepal.
Lamichhane said the RSP was not seeking an alternative but was working to become an alternative itself and ultimately establish itself as an “indispensable political force.”
He also said young lawmakers and ministers should not treat their positions as an opportunity for personal satisfaction, but should focus on delivering tangible results.
Lamichhane warned that failure by young leaders to perform or their tendency to avoid responsibility could create a negative narrative that inexperienced young people are incapable of leading politics.
He urged young lawmakers and ministers to take their responsibilities seriously and work in a result-oriented manner.
