Kathmandu. Rastriya Janata Party (RSP) Kaski leader Raju Rai has quit the party. Concluding that politics is not a straightforward and honest job, he announced his resignation from the party through social media today. <\/p>\n
Rai wrote on Facebook, “Politics is not a straightforward and honest work, from today onwards I will not waste even a penny and a second for politics and<\/p>\n
party.<\/p>\n
He had written a Facebook status two days ago saying that voting for a party that should know the leader and buy a ticket is a debt on his own head. <\/p>\n
Rai had contested from Kaski-1 in the 2017 BS election garnering 10,941 votes. CPN-UML’s Man Bahadur Gurung won the election with 25,708 votes while NC’s Kishor Dutta Baral came second with 23,189 votes. Rai, who left the party, is still aspiring for the ticket. <\/p>\n
The Rastriya Samajwadi Party (RSP) has fielded Khadak Raj Poudel, who had contested the mayoral election in Pokhara with the symbol of a stick, by not giving ticket to Rai, who had garnered 10,000 votes in the last election. Rai was dissatisfied with the party leadership ever since Paudel was given the ticket. <\/p>\n
More than a dozen leaders have left the RSP in recent times, citing financial irregularities in ticket distribution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
