Posted on by नेपाल राष्ट्रिय दैनिक

Kathmandu — Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) leader and former Education Minister Sumana Shrestha has announced her resignation from the party, expressing strong dissatisfaction with its leadership.

In her statement, Shrestha accused the leadership of repeatedly making mistakes and forcing the entire party to bear the consequences. She criticized the tendency to launch media trials against those who voice internal criticism.

She wrote, “From the moment the Rastriya Swatantra Party began placing the party above the country, and the leader above the party, I have been critical. But nothing changed. Instead, media trials began against me. This is unacceptable.”

Shrestha added that she is ready to face open attacks and has stepped aside to make it easier for the leadership. “Do as you wish for as long as you wish,” she concluded.
