During the House of Representatives elections to be held on Falgun 21, candidates and party leaders and activists are busy meeting voters and seeking votes. The parties are reaching out to voters in large numbers. The different styles of seeking votes of the Congress and the Communists have created excitement in the district.
Congress candidate Dr. Sudan Kumar Wali is reaching out to villages with a small but agile team. He is going door to door with senior leaders and youth. They are asking for votes by reaching homes and squares in villages where the party is considered to be in power. He himself is asking for votes through video. 'I will introduce myself with respect and dignity. And only after informing them about the current political situation, I will ask them to vote for me,' said Congress candidate Wali. Former MP Lekhnath Acharya is also working to help him. He said that he is campaigning by staying at people's homes.
This campaigning style was not there during previous elections. According to Acharya, it was his first experience staying at the cadre's house when he reached the village. 'This time, we have been asking for accommodation at the cadre's house, eating whatever we can get, and talking about joys and sorrows with the villagers,' he said. 'This is a completely new way to get involved with the people and have fun.' Acharya was elected as a member of the House of Representatives from Rolpa-1 in the 2056 parliamentary election.
Dr. Wali, who holds a PhD in Economics from Beijing University, was also born in a remote village. Wali has experienced what suffering is like. That is why he prefers the simple way even when he reaches the village, said Congress District Secretary Sher Bahadur Thapa.
Gokul Prasad Gharti Magar is a candidate for the House of Representatives from UML. He is also in the process of reaching his hometown for election campaigning. They are reaching all the municipalities to meet voters in a small group. They plan to meet voters without any fuss or expensive activities. ‘After seeing me staying in people’s homes and eating with them, many comments have been made about me,’ he said, ‘but staying in people’s homes is much more important than being welcomed in expensive hotels.’
He was also the whip of the parliamentary party, who was previously a proportional representation MP. ‘It is our job to make laws after reaching the parliament. We should also be interested in development plans,’ he said about the way people demand development plans when they reach the villages. ‘On the other hand, it is equally their responsibility to prepare local plans and development blueprints for the MPs. That is why it is normal for people to demand plans.’
Nepali Communist Party (NCP) leader and candidate Barshaman Pun is traveling with cadres in two or three vehicles. When he reaches the village, only a small meeting is organized. In doing so, there are allegations that the election code of conduct is not being followed in some places.
