Rana, Prasai agree to form new party following RPP split

Dhawal Shamsher Rana, who recently split from the Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP), and Durga Prasai, coordinator of the Nation, Nationality, Religion-Culture, and Citizens Protection Campaign, have officially signed an 11-point agreement to form a new political party. The two leaders finalized the deal on Friday, stating that the new democratic and nationalist political force is essential to launch a powerful movement for reinstating a constitutional monarchy in Nepal.

Guided by a nationalist philosophy rooted in the historical teachings (Divya Upadesh) of King Prithvi Narayan Shah, the party intends to establish a nationalist front that restores a Hindu kingdom while fully integrating Vedic Sanatan, Kirat, and Buddhist traditions.

The agreement also outlines a shared commitment to several key policy shifts, most notably a push for reform-oriented federalism and a "Once a Nepali, Always a Nepali" stance that advocates for dual citizenship rights for non-resident Nepalis. Additionally, the new alliance plans to address pressing socio-economic grievances, including the issues faced by landless individuals and victims impacted by cooperatives, microfinances, and banks.

Moving forward, Rana and Prasai have stated they will actively collaborate with other like-minded political parties, grassroots movements, organizations, and independent public figures to officially launch and announce the name and structure of the new political party in the near future.
