Prime Minister and Nepali Congress (NC) President Sher Bahadur Deuba has appealed the voters in his home district Dadeldhura to support him once again in the upcoming elections.

Deuba, who is contesting from the district for the sixth time and has won all previous five elections, said he had faith that the people of Dadeldhura will vote for him this time as well “for the name and fame of the district”. He was addressing an election assembly in the district headquarters.

Claiming that he had brought various development projects in Dadeldhura, Prime Minister Deuba said he will continue to guide the district towards the path of prosperity in the future as well. 

 “There are still a lot of development works to be completed. Dirt roads need to be blacktopped. We have to establish a medical college here. And we have to end unemployment,” he said while promising to achieve those tasks and much more for the district after he is elected.

 He also said that he would complete the constructions of Pancheshwor and West Seti hydropower projects at any cost.

The four-time prime minister also went on to claim that with the support of Dadeldhura voters nobody could stop him from being re-elected to the top post in the future.

“If I win I become a prime minister, while the others just to get to become lawmakers,” he said.

Says will become PM for seven times

DHANGADHI: Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba has said that he will become the country’s prime minister in the future as well. Three more times to be precise.

“An astrologer has told me that I shall hold the prime minister’s job for seven times. I have become the prime minister for only four times so far,” he said.

Deuba’s remark comes a day after CPN-UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli claimed during an election rally that NC would never in the future hold the top executive berth. 

The NC president also claimed that his party would achieve better outcome than expected in the upcoming federal and provincial elections.
