Not All Leaders are Corrupt: Millions of Honest Workers Exist Within Congress – Deu Prasad Limbu

Kathmandu. Deu Prasad Limbu (Dev Limbu), who has been recommended as the Nepali Congress candidate for the direct election from Jhapa Constituency No. 3, has expressed objection to the trend of leveling collective corruption allegations against political parties and leaders.

Sharing his views via the social media platform Facebook, Limbu stated that while it is true some individuals have turned politics into a medium for personal interest and looting, it is unjust to deem all leaders and workers guilty based on that alone.

“Thieves and dacoits have become leaders, but not all leaders are thieves and dacoits. Corrupt individuals have become leaders, but not all leaders are corrupt,” he wrote. “Many have entered politics just to loot, but not everyone involved in politics is a looter.”

He mentioned that even though corruption allegations have been leveled against some leaders of the Nepali Congress, there are millions of dedicated, honest, and loyal workers within the party who are committed to the country and its people. “There are millions of workers within the Nepali Congress who have the burning desire to build the nation and develop it; that is why this party has survived until today,” he said.

Urging an end to the trend of branding all Congress workers as corrupt from a single perspective, Limbu said, “Let us call the corrupt 'corrupt,' there is no objection to that. But no one has the right to call all workers corrupt.”

His expression is being discussed in political circles as a response targeted at the growing anti-party narrative, political disillusionment, and questions raised against the party system in recent times.
