Voters have shown trust in the youth, if we do not fulfill that trust and we get only disappointment from the youth leadership again, it will be a great misfortune, the youth who do politics saying that they will serve the state, will get success.

Politics is alive and dynamic. No political person is ever satisfied with politics. That is, he is driven by dissatisfaction. I am also not satisfied with the current politics, so I am active.
I joined the Maoists around 2066. In electoral politics, I competed in two posts in the same year in 074. I ran for the head of Birganj Metropolitan Municipality, but I was defeated. Soon after, he had to lose again in the election contest for the state assembly member. After the
, I was elected as a member of the Provincial Assembly from Constituency No. 1 (1) of Parsa in the general election of 079. Looking at this, I was defeated in 074 and in 079, it seems that I made a leap by winning the state MP. However, during the interval of 5 years, he remained close to the people. Share your thoughts and ideas. I was active in politics. After that, I felt that representation in the state assembly would be a good platform for me. He contested the election in the state assembly thinking that he can serve the Madhesi people.
Member of state assembly did not become overnight. 5 years of preparation is the reward. Preparing for two elections is like getting a university degree. My initial studies were done in Nepal. I did my high school studies in India. After that, I studied and took various trainings abroad. The contact with the people and the social harmony inspired me to join politics.
People review their life purpose at different ages. At one time, I thought that 'the change that I want to see in the society in this life should not be left for the next generation, it should be completed in my own lifetime.' That purpose gave me the energy to join politics.
I also held the responsibility of Minister of Industry, Tourism and Forestry in Madhesh Province for about one and a half years. Being a state minister, the biggest challenge was to implement any work. We got there with a vision. However, there is no support from the employees to move forward according to that vision. It is the bureaucracy that delivers. They don't want to follow the vision of politicians. When I was the Minister of State in Madhesh Pradesh, the vision of many stockholders did not agree with me. I had a slightly different idea. I was under time pressure from day one. I did not want to waste even 1 minute when I was the Minister of State. I started working thinking that my time should be spent for the benefit of the people and Madhesh. However, I felt lonely. Everyone calls good work good. However, whoever prioritizes good work can carry it forward.
The people and Madhesh province are not the priority of most people. They only look after their own welfare. The welfare of family and party is given priority. I and my vision felt like I was in the minority because of that. We reach everywhere, accomplishing nothing. We don't want to finish one job and move on to another. So there is a problem in all the work. Like, what kind of tourism is right in Madhesh? It does not seem to have been planned. The Ministry of Tourism of Madhesh has been made into a ministry where the retail budget is spent without putting it into concrete work. Only a little bit of budget has been spent on monasteries, mosques, Samsanghats and cemeteries.
It is not necessary to bring a big plan to promote tourism in Madhesh. It would be great if the state government could prioritize the 4-5 religious-cultural centers here and facilitate the tourists coming there. There is no need to talk about the dignity, importance and faith of Janaki Temple in Janakpur or Gadhimai Temple in Bara. Everyone knows that. However, the tourists who reach there should feel the presence of the government.
When you go to Jaipur, Ahmedabad or Madhya Pradesh in India, there is a strong presence of the state government in the religious and historical places. We don't even know how many tourists came to us, where they went. At least the tourists who come to Janaki temple in Janakpur should say good things, the tourists who come to Gadhimai should feel the presence of the state government. If only this is done, great work will be seen.
Good governance and zero tolerance are my core values. I took this stand when I was the Minister of State. Some time ago, the speech I gave in the state assembly meeting came into discussion. I said in the parliament that there was so much corruption and so many corrupt people in Madhesh that the people could not escape the corruption. Corrupt people are roaming around me. Who should I catch, who should I punish? Instead, we have declared this province as a red light of corruption. Ironically, let's make Madhesh province a hub of corruption. I said let's raise revenue with those who come here to study corruption. Which many did not like.
Madhesi people seem to be discriminated by the leadership class. As a member of the state assembly, I once managed to spend Rs 3 crore under the parliamentary fund. If the work is done well, the budget will not be spent again for the same work for 40-50 years. However, greed for commission does not lead to good work. We have not managed the budget properly. When I got 3 crores, I spent it on the physical infrastructure of the dilapidated Chhatra School Kanya Mavi in Birganj. I made concrete roads to be built in the Dalit slums where there is no road at all. I have worked in undeveloped places.
Being an MP at a young age risks confusion. Fear of being out of focus or delusions of being too big can ruin it. A big responsibility at a young age should make a person more serious. The responsibilities that came from time to time alerted me that I should be more responsible. Those who do politics thinking about the future of the youth state, the future of the youth is in politics. A youth who comes into politics thinking about the future of himself, his family and his party, has no future. What I do is justice. Not 100%. However, I will do justice as much as possible. Youth leadership should always prioritize social development.
There is a basic weakness in the youth, they don't have a clear picture of what to do politics for. They are very uncomfortable with politics. It has become a comment that many people do not like young people in politics. But, the youth who does politics with the intention of serving the state, gets success. If you don't have the capacity to do politics, don't do it. Politics is labor. I raised a slogan in the election, people want exit, not development. I asked the people for their opinion that they should get rid of the old leader and agenda. Voters have shown trust in the youth, if we do not fulfill that trust of the people or if we get disappointment from the youth leadership again, it will be a great misfortune.
