KATHMANDU, March 26: Rastriya Mukti Party Nepal Chair Rajendra Mahato has said that Rastriya Swatantra Party Senior Leader and prospective Prime Minister Balendra Shah (Balen), though of Madheshi origin, is not politically focused on Madhesh.

Speaking on Nagarik Frontline Wednesday, Mahato expressed doubts over Balen’s ability to address Madhesh’s key issues, citing his lack of a rights and identity-focused agenda. “Balen Shah is a son of the Madheshi community, but he is not a Madheshi-centric leader,” he said, warning that relying solely on ethnicity without a clear political plan could leave marginalized groups disappointed.
Mahato also noted that past political leaders used Madheshi faces but failed to deliver rights, and he believes Balen reflects a similar approach.
