Kathmandu. Former Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak reached his ancestral home in Bedkot Municipality-8 of Kanchanpur on Monday morning, five months after the Jenji movement.

His ancestral house was set on fire and completely destroyed by protesters on September 24 during the Zenji movement. Former Home Minister Lekhak, who is also a Nepali Congress leader, went to his hometown to create an atmosphere in favour of the party candidate in the upcoming House of Representatives election.

The house of the writer at Naikap of Kathmandu and the ancestral house at Bedkot Municipality-8 have been completely gutted in the fire. He was taking shelter after renovating his house in Mahendranagar.

The writer, who reached his ancestral home for the first time, also gave an interview to the locals. On the occasion, the locals apprised the gathering about the progress of road infrastructure and other developments in the village.

Kanchanpur Electoral Constituency No. Lekhak, who became the Home Minister after winning the election from constituency 3 in 2079, is not a candidate this time. The Nepali Congress (NC) did not give ticket to former Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba and leader Lekhak in Dadeldhura. After the party fielded former district party president Hari Prasad Bohara as its candidate here, leader Lekhak has intensified the election meeting.
