In this feature, singer and actor Prakash Saput speaks about his entry into politics after being included in the Rastriya Swatantra Party’s (RSP) closed proportional representation list for the House of Representatives elections. He explains that his motivation is to understand parliamentary processes firsthand and take responsibility for national development.
Saput emphasizes that his move is driven by responsibility rather than ambition, inspired by leaders like Kathmandu mayor Balendra Shah and RSP chair Rabi Lamichhane, and aims to channel his energy as an artist toward meaningful national contribution. Despite his political engagement, he plans to continue his artistic career, with upcoming films Mirmire and Paralko Aago, and a 15-year legacy of popular songs including Galbandi, Pir, Sakambari, Dohori Battle, Bol Maya, and Damai Maharaja.
