Prime Minister Sushila Karki has stated that the government is moving forward with two main agendas: good governance and the upcoming elections. Speaking at a program in Lalitpur Metropolitan City on Wednesday, Karki highlighted that the post–Zen-Gi youth movement has created a new political environment in the country, and preparations are underway to conduct the House of Representatives election scheduled for Falgun 21.
The Prime Minister expressed the government’s eagerness to transfer power to a government reflecting the new public sentiment expressed through the election. She urged all stakeholders to cooperate in ensuring that the election is conducted in a cost-effective, transparent, fair, and fear-free environment.
Karki said, “After the Zen-Gi youth movement on Bhadra 23 and 24, a new situation has emerged in the country. We are currently focused on two main agendas: good governance and elections. Preparations to conduct the House of Representatives election scheduled for Falgun 21 are progressing rapidly. We are eager to transfer power to a government reflecting the new public sentiment. Therefore, I urge everyone to help ensure that the election is cost-effective, transparent, fair, and fear-free.”
She emphasized that elections are the only viable way to move the country forward on the path of constitutional, democratic governance. Karki also underscored that no form of anarchy should be tolerated and that security authorities are prepared to control any lawlessness. She highlighted the crucial role of communities in resisting harmful elements.
Karki further noted, “Our only option to secure the country on the path of constitutional, democratic, and good governance is through elections. I want to clarify that no form of anarchy should be allowed in society. The security administration is capable and active in controlling unlawful and disruptive activities. Communities also play an important role in resisting such negative elements. Let us all join hands in this effort.”
In addition to political matters, Karki praised Lalitpur Metropolitan City for its historical and artistic significance. She described Patan as a living museum of Nepali civilization and beauty, noting that every architectural monument reflects devotion, culture, and heritage. She remarked, “Lalitpur Metropolitan City is not only the oldest in age but also in terms of art and heritage. Patan itself is a living museum of Nepali civilization and beauty. Divinity smiles in every monument here. The heritage left by our ancestors reflects devotion, spiritual practice, and culture. Every brick, stone, and metal in the temples, viharas, and stone structures embodies faith and belief.”
