In the run-up to the federal and provincial elections scheduled to be held next Sunday, Rastriya Swatantra Party President Rabi Lamichhane‘s vehicle has been reportedly vandalized in his electoral constituency in the Chitwan district. The RSP’s press coordinator Ganesh Karki says Lamichhane’s vehicle was vandalized during his campaign in Muglin on November 13. A video posted by Karki shows a person smashing the windscreen. Meanwhile, Karki accuses the government of failing to provide security to the candidates in the run-up to the elections as it turned into a mute spectator after the vandalism.
