As the February 21 House of Representatives elections approach, the election atmosphere in the district is heating up.
Parties and candidates are active in campaigning on the streets, squares and villages here. They are talking about the plans they will implement for the development of the district if they win. While the candidates are campaigning for votes, voters say they are looking for candidates who are committed to work, responsible and connected to the locals. There are 13 candidates from different parties and independents in the district, which has one constituency. All the candidates are promising development, employment, good governance and prosperity.
Voters are saying that they will vote based on the work they see in practice rather than words. They have started questioning the candidate's agenda, honesty and accessibility rather than the party's flag and name.
‘We have repeatedly sent the same leader to the polls, big things were said, but the expected work did not happen,’ said Govinda Tamrakar of Amargadhi-6, ‘Now I will vote for those who understand the problems and work, not for the party.’ She said that this time the interest of voters in the young candidate has increased.
As the elections approach, candidates are reaching voters through door-to-door campaigns with the help of parties and workers. Leaders are telling about development plans and future dreams. However, this time, voters have to face questions from the candidates who reach the villages. They are asking the candidates what they have done in the past, why there are problems there.
‘The time to vote just by listening to speeches is over, we need people’s representatives who can support us in solving the problems,’ said Gauridevi Tiruwa of Pokhara, ‘Basic infrastructure work in Dadeldhura has not been resolved yet.’ The condition of roads in rural areas is critical. There is a shortage of drinking water. Due to limited access to education and health, youths tend to go abroad for employment.’
‘In the past, those we won did not do a good job,’ said Dambarraj Ojha of Bhageshwor, ‘This time, I have decided to vote only by looking at the manifesto and listening to the agenda.’ According to him, since all parties are candidates in the same constituency, voters have an opportunity to compare.
Former Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba, who has been winning elections from this constituency for a long time, is not competing this time, so the atmosphere has become different. This time, there is fierce competition between parties to snatch Deuba’s legacy.
