Farmers in Rajapur, a district famous as the 'Karnali Tappu', have been facing a shortage of irrigation and fertilizer for years. Despite Rajapur being promoted as a granary, the locals have been forced to face the problem of irrigation, fertilizer and seeds for a long time.
Voters in Rajapur have been demanding river erosion, flood problems, fertilizer, as well as quality education and health in every election. Candidates also promise to solve such problems. However, they complain that they will not return to the settlement after winning the election.
This time, voters here say they will vote for a candidate who addresses their demands and fulfills their commitments. Jiudhan Tharu of Rajapur-2 said that the construction of a canal is necessary. However, he said that there has been no hearing so far. ‘The road in our village is in a bad condition,’ he said, ‘There is an extreme shortage of fertilizer.’
The municipality and Geruwa Rural Municipality, which are surrounded by the Karnali and Geruwa rivers, have their own problems. Although the road network in the municipality is expanding, there is a problem of displacement due to floods during the rainy season. Karnali and Budhi rivers erode cultivable land.
Karna Bahadur Dhungana of Rajapur-8 said that he would vote for the candidate who expresses a commitment to stop deforestation. He said that even if he has a simple illness, he is forced to go to Nepalgunj for treatment. Bishnu Tharu of Rajapur-2 said that there is a problem in farming due to the lack of irrigation in the village. He said that even though there is a primary school, he is forced to send children far away to study in the upper grades.
