Speaking at the launch, party chairman Sarad Chandra Dahal said REP has been formed with an objective to foster "national unity". He also said the party´s perception is that the country requires the king as a "guardian".
The party´s manifesto read, "The guardian institution, which was a center of ultimate faith and hope for Nepalis, has been ousted from power without proper thinking."
Other leaders of the party criticized the political parties for declaring Nepal a secular state without holding a referendum. They said their party aims to restore Nepal as a Hindu state.
They accused the leaders of three major political parties for being hell-bent on making the country a "failed" state and handing the erstwhile palace´s rights over to the foreign embassies.
