What Future Holds For RSP?

Pokhara's current weather is nearly perfect, with winter fast approaching. In just a month, the city will see a massive influx of tourists from around the world. However, even before winter's arrival, the city was already buzzing last week, largely due to the loyal cadres of the RSP (Rastriya Swatantra Party). They travelled to Pokhara in support of their leader, who was arrested and brought here two weeks ago on charges of cooperative fraud and organised crime. It was no surprise that RSP politicians took to the streets of Pokhara, mainly targeting the government and KP Oli in their speeches. The party's so-called "peaceful protest" had been anything but peaceful—perhaps this is just how the RSP operates.
