The party’s election manifesto mentions that the fate of monarchy should be decided by a referendum and not the CA.
Kamal Thapa told journalists that the decision to abolish the monarchy should not be taken by the interim government. He further said that democracy and constitutional monarchy are both supplementary and complementary to each other.” The party’s election manifesto also included that
Kamal Thapa served as home minister during the 14 months rule of King Gyanendra. Rumors also came out of RPP receiving large amount of money from the Royal family but Kamal Thapa refuted the claim.
