The Rastriya Prajatantra Party has decided not to vote in the vice-presidential election. A Central Work Execution Committee meeting of the Rastriya Prajatantra Party held on Wednesday has decided not to vote in the upcoming vice-presidential election. Party spokesperson Mohan Kumar Shrestha said that the party has decided to stay neutral in the vice-presidential election.

Saying that the government’s decision to increase the price and reduce subsidy given to farmers on the purchase of chemical fertilizers is inhuman and unfair, the party has demanded that the government roll back its decision at the earliest, he said.

The party has drawn the attention of the government to establish a chemical fertilizer factory in the country for a long-term solution of the recurring problem of chemical fertilizer.
