Kathmandu, June 2 — Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) Chairman Ravi Lamichhane on Tuesday held high-level discussions with senior leaders of India’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in New Delhi, in what is being viewed as a significant political engagement aimed at understanding the organisational framework of the world’s largest political party.
Leading an RSP delegation under the BJP’s “Know BJP” initiative, Lamichhane met BJP National President Nitin Nabin at the party headquarters, where discussions focused on party structure, membership expansion, grassroots mobilisation, candidate selection and democratic participation.
According to a BJP statement, the RSP delegation showed particular interest in learning how the BJP has developed its extensive organisational network from the national level down to local booth committees, a model often credited for the party’s electoral success across India.
The meeting also explored the growing influence of young voters and the role of Generation Z in shaping future political leadership. The issue holds special relevance for the RSP, which emerged as a major political force in Nepal by attracting urban youth and first-time voters seeking an alternative to traditional political parties.
BJP leader Nitin Nabin highlighted the deep-rooted cultural and civilisational ties between Nepal and India, stating that interactions between political parties can play an important role in strengthening democratic engagement and mutual understanding between the two neighbouring countries.
Earlier in the day, Lamichhane and the RSP delegation were welcomed in New Delhi by senior BJP leaders Arun Singh and Vijay Chauthaiwale, underlining the significance attached to the visit by the Indian side.
Apart from political discussions, the delegation also visited the BJP’s media centre and central library and participated in interactions with senior party officials.
Political observers view the visit as part of the RSP’s broader effort to strengthen its organisational capacity and expand its political footprint as the party prepares for future electoral contests. The engagement also reflects growing political exchanges between Nepal and India beyond formal government-to-government diplomacy.
The visit marks one of the highest-level interactions between the RSP and the BJP since the emergence of Nepal’s new-generation political movement.
