Butwal. Kishori Chaudhary, 46, who lives in Harnyaya, Syang Rural Municipality-3, Rupandehi district, has a five-member family. Chaudhary, whose economic condition is ordinary, works as a laborer in house and road construction.

Chaudhary, met by Ratopati near the Belwaha-Bethari road in Shuddhodhan on Thursday afternoon while working on construction at a house, said that she has not felt much interest in the election as leaders have not visited her home or neighborhood. 'I don't even know who the candidates are yet,' she said.
