Development of energy sector aligns with BP's dream for prosperous Nepal: Minister Khadka

Kathmandu, July 22: Minister for Energy, Water Resources and Irrigation, Deepak Khadka, has remembered the late BP Koirala as a symbol of awareness and a staunch advocate for the rights of the Nepali people.

Speaking at an event held in Sundarijal today to mark the 43rd memorial of BP Koirala, Minister Khadka said that efforts are underway to bring prosperity to the country which was the dream of BP Koirala. 

"BP always prioritized party ideology, democratic values, and national interests over personal comfort and gain," the Minister said. "The transformation of Nepalis from a ruled class to empowered citizens began with BP's commitment and sacrifices. Despite enduring imprisonment and torture, he never wavered in his dedication to the people and the nation. He earned the people's trust and laid a strong foundation for us to follow."

Minister Khadka added that BP Koirala’s political philosophy clearly reflected the idea that the state is responsible for fulfilling its citizens' basic needs. He added that BP dedicated his entire life to the service of the nation and its people.

Highlighting the connection between BP's ideology and national development, the Minister said that the growth of the energy sector aligns with BP's vision of a self-reliant Nepal. (RSS)
