UML Vice-Chairman and former Minister Bishnu Poudel is set to be the candidate for the House of Representatives from Rupandehi-2. On Saturday, the UML secretariat meeting decided to field him from Palpa-2.
He left Palpa and returned to Rupandehi after the cadres expressed dissatisfaction that he had left the area where he had been winning continuously for a long time.
The cadres complained that the special meeting of the party's regional committee held on Sunday had also requested Poudel to return to Rupandehi-2. Poudel had been winning all the elections since 2064 from Rupandehi-2. He had won the 2051 election from the former Palpa-3 and the current Palpa-2. Although he was defeated from Rupandehi in the 2056 election, he had won all the four elections from Rupandehi since 2064 and became a minister seven times.
Poudel, who won from Rupandehi-2 by a narrow margin in the 2079 election, was surprised by the people of Rupandehi that he had gone to Palpa-2.
UML central member and Rupandehi in-charge Khimlal Bhattarai said that it has been decided to make Poudel a candidate in Rupandehi-2. ‘Yesterday, the matter of Palpa-2 came up, but the party center has given the decision to make Poudel a candidate in Rupandehi-2 today through party secretary and province in-charge Padma Aryal,’ he said, ‘This is also our request that this be the final decision.’
The Rupandehi-2 regional committee held a special meeting on Sunday and decided that Poudel should be made a candidate from Rupandehi-2 and that they will take the responsibility of winning, said district committee member Baburam Panthi.
After Poudel returned to Rupandehi, Dr. Ram Bahadur Raut is in the news in Palpa-2. He was previously the public relations advisor to Lumbini Province Chief Minister Chet Narayan Acharya. However, there is increasing pressure from Palpa UML to give a ticket to Thakur Gaire, the winner of the previous election in 2079 BS. Gaire is considered a popular youth leader in Palpa.
