Balen's Visit to Sudurpaschim Creates Political Wave in Dhangadhi
The visit of Balendra Shah (Balen), a senior leader of the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) and candidate for Jhapa-5 in the upcoming election, has created a new political wave in Dhangadhi.
Balen arrived in Dhangadhi on Tuesday via Bardiya for election campaigning, where such a large crowd gathered to welcome him that he could not even enter his own party's contact office.
Candidate Anand Bahadur Chand and other leaders were waiting inside the contact office, which was established in Dhangadhi for the election in Kailali Constituency No. 5.
However, due to the massive crowd of supporters outside and slogans being shouted in favor of a "Balen Government," it became impossible for him to enter. As the crowd began to go out of control, he waved to his supporters, rang the bell, and departed for Kanchanpur.
Balen is scheduled to reach Mahendranagar today via Punarbas in Kanchanpur. There, he will speak at election rallies organized in Jhalari and Mahendranagar.
Having resigned from the position of Mayor of Kathmandu Metropolitan City to join this nationwide campaign, Balen also plans to participate in election programs in the hilly districts of Sudurpaschim.
