BARA, NOVEMBER 8

Rastriya Swatantra Party Chairperson Rabi Lamichhane has said the nation is in for a surprise in this election.

"I've heard that the country is awaiting a surprise, and it has already started from Kathmandu and Dharan. While I will give a surprise from Chitwan, I hope similar surprises will also come from here, in Bara," he said, addressing an election campaign in Simara today.

Lamichhane also warned he would expose those who were hoodwinking voters. "I have heard leaders terrorising voters by saying there would be CCTV cameras to see whether voters would cast votes for them, but let me call upon you to expose those leaders who are saying such false things," he told the audience.

The RSP chair, who is also a journalist, citing his role in rescuing many Nepali youths from abroad, said he joined the politics to make a policy to ensure an end to the plight of many Nepali people of having to go abroad for livelihood.
