KATHMANDU: The royalist campaign, previously concentrated in Kathmandu, is set to spread to all 77 districts of Nepal, announced Nawaraj Subedi, Chairperson of the Joint People’s Movement Committee, on Wednesday evening.

Subedi said protests will continue in the capital’s municipalities, while district-level demonstrations—including mass gatherings and sit-ins—will begin across the country.

Youth groups will be mobilized through new district committees to intensify the campaign.

Earlier in the day, a key strategy meeting at Nawadurga Party Palace, Dhumbarahi, was disrupted.

RPP Chair Rajendra Lingden skipped the session citing parliamentary duties, and when senior leader Kamal Thapa began to speak, young royalists shouted him down.

The meeting, intended only for leaders of 45 allied groups, was interrupted by protestors demanding action over speeches.

Attempts to move to internal discussions failed as media continued recording, sparking further disorder.

Despite efforts by religious figure Shreenivas to calm the crowd, tensions escalated. Subedi later issued a solo statement announcing the nationwide expansion.

It remains unclear whether major royalist parties like the RPP officially support this plan.
