Morang constituency number 2 has long been a strong base of the Congress. Morang-2 has been a strong base of the Congress since the time of former Prime Minister and late Congress leader Girija Prasad Koirala. But this time, Krishna Kumar Karki of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) defeated the Congress in the same constituency.
Karki got 40,924 votes, while the old forces Dilip Agarwal of the UML came second with 15,624 votes and Dr. Minendra Rijal of the Congress came third with 12,734 votes. This constituency was considered a strong base of the Congress for a long time. In the 2079 elections, Hrishikesh Pokharel of the UML had destroyed that traditional base of the Congress. This time, Karki has strengthened his presence in the same political arena by defeating the old parties.
Karki, who became a candidate amid controversy and discussion, is known for his active and aggressive style on social media. He is a character who entered electoral politics from a background associated with the 'Gen-G Movement'. Karki, who hails from Ratuwamai Municipality-9, Morang, returned to Nepal after living in Japan for about 12 years. After spending some time abroad, he started a hotel business in Kathmandu and came into the limelight after being seen publicly during the 'Gen-G Movement'.
He has been accused of participating in the violent protest in Kathmandu on Bhadra 24. Karki had posted photos of government property being vandalized and set on fire during the protest on Facebook. Posting a photo taken in the Parliament Building area in New Baneshwor, he wrote, 'We entered the Parliament Building, we gathered old chairs in front of the Parliament Building, lit a fire and celebrated happily.'
Similarly, they had also claimed through social media that they had reached from Balaju to Singha Durbar and witnessed the arson of leaders' houses. However, after becoming a candidate, Karki had been denying the accusation of entering the parliament building and setting it on fire. Due to his protest image, supporters present him as a 'character who speaks against the system'. However, critics have been portraying him as a person with a background linked to violent activities. Karki, who emerged from this background, has finally ascended to the parliament building from Morang-2. Known from the road of protest, he has emerged in Nepali politics by charting a new journey to electoral politics.
