Bidya Devi Bhandari, who has been the president of the country twice, has said that she will return to active politics. He has made it clear that he will return to active politics by reaching Biratnagar, the place where he started his political life during his student days.
"The post of president is not apolitical, so I am active in national politics," Bhandari said in a press conference, "Since I spent a long time in MALE and then UML, if necessary, I may have to become active in UML politics again." Expressing her happiness, she also congratulated her.
Bhandari, who first became president in October 2072 and then in February 2074, left Sheetal Niwas in February 2079 after completing two regular terms. Shortly after that, his return to active politics created waves within the UML.
UML leaders have been expressing two types of opinion that there is a possibility of Bhandari returning to active politics and not. But breaking that ambiguous situation, on Monday he made it clear that he will return to party politics through a press conference in Biratnagar.
UML leaders say that Bhandari started her political journey as the treasurer of Swaviyu University in Mahendra-Morang campus in 2040, her relationship with her late husband Madan Bhandari and then the power and experience she gained from the role of president in active politics.
Bhandari, who has come to her political birthplace Morang to stay for a few days, has intensified her meetings with new and old members. Also, consultation for support and suggestions has increased. UML leaders say that his activism has made it difficult for him to advance to the party leadership.
Ex-President Bhandari, who has planned a meeting with new and old UML workers of Itahari and Sunsari, is scheduled to return to Kathmandu on January 18, according to security agencies. Leaders including UML Morang former president Vinod Dhakal have been active in his meetings. Sources claim that Bhandari is giving priority to leaders who are 'irritated' with President Oli and who have 'lost confidence' in Oli.
Leaders including UML standing committee member Karn Thapa have publicly asked former president Bhandari to come into active politics. "Since the past, he has been active in politics out of necessity, he has become the president by the decision of the party," Thapa told Kantipur, "It is time to be active again due to the needs of the country and the party." A large group within the UML is asking him to come into active politics, a positive atmosphere is also being created.'
Thapa said that it would be appropriate for party president Oli to propose the former president to become active. "Former President Bhandari is still old, it is appropriate for the party president to propose to be active," he said. UML Propaganda Department Head Rajendra Gautam said that there was no formal discussion about the former president joining active politics. "The former president has the right to come to active politics or not," he said.
former president Dr. Ramvaran Yadav's then political advisor and political analyst Hari Sharma says that since the position of President has a high dignity, he should make up his own mind about coming/not coming back to active politics. "The president is a highly prestigious post of the country, a person who has held that responsibility should decide whether to start active politics again or not," he said.
Bhandari participated in programs including inauguration on Tuesday. She inaugurated the newly constructed building of Janata Mavi in Itahari. On Wednesday, she will be the chief guest of the district level debate competition organized by Chudakavi Foundation at Dharan Engineering Campus and Budhiganga Rural Municipality. There is a program to visit Manmohan Technical University in Budhiganga on Wednesday.
Bhandari is scheduled to participate in the anniversary program of Saraswati Mavi at Gramthan Rural Municipality near Biratnagar metropolis on January 18. His personal secretary Rajkumar Rai said that former President Bhandari had gone to Biratnagar to participate in a non-political program. "You have gone to participate in programs such as university meetings, school anniversary celebrations," he said, "there must have been other meetings as well."
Recently, Bhandari has increased her activism. He is scheduled to go to Lumbini shortly after returning from Biratnagar. According to the Secretariat, there is a possibility that he will have formal and informal meetings there. Earlier, she had gone to Pokhara on December 18 to inaugurate the 'Fewa Dialogue' organized jointly by Pokhara University and China's Sichuan University. During her stay in Pokhara for 6 days, she was active in meetings with UML leaders and workers.
Bhandari is the second president after the establishment of a democratic republic in the country and the first president to be elected after the promulgation of the Constitution of Nepal. She is also the first Nepali woman to be elected to the highest office in the country.
2018 Bhandari, who was born in Manevnjang, Bhojpur on 5th June 2018, was married to leader Madan Bhandari in 2039.
