Nepali Congress senior leader Ram Chandra Poudel has identified contributions of late Maiya Devi Shrestha to the party. She was a leader whose entire life was spent in safeguarding democracy and who could bring together politics and development, he asserted at a condolence meeting to Shrestha organised here today by the NC, Chitwan. “Maiya Devi’s treatment to the society was an example of humanity,” he said.

“There are environmental problems at present. So, we should commemorate her by constructing a Maiya Devi Park for the preservation of nature and making greenery.”
Similarly, NC Spokesperson Dr Prakash Sharan Mahat said the party should pursue Maiya Devi’s principles. In another context, he reiterated that the current alliance was formed to protect the constitution. Also, state minister Umesh Shrestha talked about contributions of Maiya Devi to politics and the society. She died on October 22.
