The time has come for RPP to be ready for the leadership of the coming time. RPP needs to be strong to save the country from possible disasters. Therefore, the leaders and cadres of the party should move forward with high morale and not despair. \u2019<\/p>\n<p>Stating that RPP is not weak, he said that the party needs to be strong to save the country from possible political accidents. He said that RPP should be ready to lead the country in the coming times. <\/p>\n<p>Lingden said that in the recent political situation, there is a danger of totalitarianism being established in the name of democracy.

A situation is being created to run the country on the basis of orders and waves rather than rules and regulations. The government should give a clear answer to the people about the incidents ranging from the change of the Inspector General of Police to the arrest and reinstatement of government officials. It should also be made public why the contract process worth Rs 16 billion for the Sunkoshi-Marin Diversion Project was stopped and what benefit the state got from it. \u2019<\/p>\n<p>Lingden claimed that his old analysis of Nepal&#8217;s politics being influenced by politicians, bureaucrats, businessmen and middlemen connected to the judiciary is proving to be correct. He said that the present government is also seen continuing the previous trend. <\/p>\n<p>He also said that the tendency of using the party on the basis of personal and professional interest should be put to an end within the RPP. He stressed on the need to go among the people by building a reformed, transformed and organized RPP from the upcoming general convention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KATHMANDU: Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) Chairman Rajendra Lingden has urged the party leaders and cadres to prepare the party for the upcoming political leadership.
