The Nepali Congress has included Hazari Nepali Badi, the only person from the Badi community, in its list of proportional representation candidates for the upcoming House of Representatives elections to be held on Falgun 21.
Hazari, a central member of the Nepali Congress's Policy Foundation Department, started politics from the Nepal Students' Union in 2058 BS. Hazari, a permanent resident of Bheri Municipality-1 in Jajarkot, lost her father when she was 9/10 years old and still lives alone. Her previous old house was destroyed by an earthquake last year. Hazari, who has been living in a two-room house built on 4 aanas of land through the Janata Awas Program, has completed her bachelor's degree in Nepali and is studying for a postgraduate degree at Bheri Gyanodaya Campus. 'I grew up renting houses, and when I was in third grade, I also worked in a hotel,' she said. 'I still don't have a good house, but I am continuing my politics. There is still a lot to do in politics.'
Since she is from a Dalit, minority and backward area, she believes that the party will get her elected. 'I am doing politics after suffering a lot,' she says. 'I hope the party will do justice.'
She is the youngest of six sisters and daughters of her two mothers. Her only brother is suffering from depression, while her mother lives in the Shivalaya temple in Jajarkot.
She complains that she was not able to enter parliament even though she was recommended as a candidate for the National Assembly earlier. ‘This time, the party has recommended me only from the Badi community, so I hope that I will enter parliament,’ she said. ‘I will not leave politics in any difficult situation. I will enter parliament to raise the voices of those who have been left behind by the mainstream of the state.’
Born in 2045, Hazari is the district vice-president of the Dalit Sangh, a central member of the Nepal Democratic Federation, and had become the district president of the Cultural Association in 2064. She was elected as a general convention representative in the 14th general convention of the Nepali Congress.
She was beaten up by the Maoists three times during the armed conflict. After being severely injured by Maoists with stones, she was displaced from Rautgaun and settled in the district headquarters. She says that she is also active in politics through her art and social service. She has released 2 song albums and acted in 3 music videos. She is currently the vice-chairwoman of the Hill Region Development Campaign. She has also become the vice-chairwoman of the Hazari Badi Bikash Manch and the president of the Sayapatri Mahila Dalit Jagran Manch. The campaign is working to provide livelihood to the earthquake-affected people. “I get an allowance for monitoring the organization’s programs and participating in meetings,” she said. “That has been enough to cover my household expenses.” She argues that young people like her should also become parliamentarians to institutionalize the achievements of the Genji Movement. "If elected through the proportional representation system, I will work for the welfare of Dalits, minorities, and backward areas like Jajarkot," she said. "For that, the party should select me as a member of the House of Representatives based on my contribution so far."
