Addressing the gathering held in Dhangadhi, Lekhak emphasized that the meeting in Sudurpaschim Province was organized to foster greater unity and organization within the party. “This gathering is not to cause division in the party. It is meant to unite the Nepali Congress and enhance its administrative structure,” the leader stated.

Considering the unique situation after the Jana Andolan movement, he stressed the need for the party to move forward cohesively. However, internal problems and divisions have led to unfavorable election outcomes. “Following the events of 8 and 9 September (Bhadra 23 and 24 in the Nepali calendar), the country faced a special situation. In this context, the Nepali Congress should have emerged as the strongest, united, and most hopeful force for the people. Unfortunately, internal problems arose,” Lekhak explained.

Furthermore, he acknowledged the significant contributions of party president Sher Bahadur Deuba to democracy, stressing the need to cultivate a respectful environment in politics around him. “Sher Bahadur Deuba has played a vital role in the country’s democratic movement. His contributions should not be underestimated compared to any other leader,” Lekhak added.
