The Govindaraj Joshi group is going to coordinate with the CPN-UML in Tanahu. Joshi‘s son Deepak Raj Joshi is preparing to become the mayor of Byass municipality in the local elections to be held on Baishakh 30. He has intensified the election campaign to become mayor and has opened a contact office.
During the discussion held on Saturday, it was decided to form an election mobilization committee consisting of four members from the Joshi group and four members from the UML. The meeting was held at Joshi’s residence. Deepak Raj told Sethopati that the UML has agreed to field joint candidates for the posts of chief and deputy chief of all municipalities.
“I am running for mayor of Byass. UML supports me in Byass, ‘he said. In other municipalities, it has been agreed to field common candidates from members to ward chairpersons and chiefs. Former Joint General Secretary of Nepali Congress Govinda Raj was executed by the party. He was suspended by Congress for five years without being an ordinary member.
Joshi was disciplined for playing a role in defeating Ram Chandra Poudel in Tanahu in 2074 BS. While Congress is discussing withdrawing the disciplinary action taken against him, Joshi has agreed to coordinate the election with UML. Deepak Raj, on the other hand, said that he was overwhelmed even though he wanted to return home from abroad to work. “I came back to do something in my homeland,” he said.
