A bomb has been exploded targeting the house of member of the chairman council of Rastriya Janata Party Nepal (RJP) Sharat Singh Bhandari in Aurahi of Mahottari early Sunday morning. “An unidentified group exploded the bomb near Bhandari’s house at one in the night,” RJP General Secretary Keshav Jha told Setopati. “The house was not damaged but this has been done with an intention of disrupting the election. The government must be serious about such incidents,” he added. He called such attacks ahead of the elections undemocratic and revealed RJP has drawn the government’s attention to beef up security arrangements. Bhandari is contesting the federal election from Mahottari-2. Nobody has taken responsibility for the attack. प्रतिनिधि सभा सदस्यका उम्मेद्वार एवम् राजपाका शीर्ष नेता सरदसिह भण्डारीको महोत्तरीको औरहीस्थित घर नजिक प्रेसर कुकर बम बिस्फोट भएको छ। औरही नगरपालिका २ स्थित उनको घर नजिकै रहेको पोखरीको डिलमा गए राति १ बजेको समयमा बम बिस्फोट भएको हो। भण्डारी घरमै रहेको समयमा भएको बिस्फोटले कुनै मानविय र भौतिक क्षति नभएको महोत्तरीका एसपी कुबेर कडायतले जानकारी दिए।
