Rastriya Prajatantra Party Central Member Rishibabu Pariyar Resigns from Party

March 24, Kathmandu – Rishibabu Pariyar, a central member of the Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP), has decided to leave the party. He has resigned on ethical grounds and will no longer remain a general member of RPP.

Pariyar stated that although the RPP adopted the agenda of the monarchy, the party did not comply with royal directives and lacked sensitivity toward Dalit issues, which prompted his departure. He noted, “Out of four proportional seats, it was possible to include one Khas Arya and one Dalit member, but the party failed to represent Dalits.”

Also a member of the central executive committee, Pariyar accused the RPP of lacking political and ideological clarity. He said, “Reducing the monarchy to a political symbol, weakening the movement for the restoration of the monarchy, and displaying biased behavior toward true patriotic leaders and activists within the party are the reasons I am leaving.”

Pariyar served as a central member of RPP, a member of the executive committee, a member of the central directive committee, and as a senior leader of the organization representing oppressed Dalits within the party.
