Bhairahawa. Independent candidate Kiran Bik has emerged as one of the most talked-about names in the upcoming Rupandehi-3 by-election, riding on a bold vision for urban renewal, cryptocurrency innovation, and the commercialization of Gautam Buddha International Airport. His campaign received a significant boost this week as award-winning filmmaker Jaun Yonjan publicly endorsed him, calling Bik a leader who truly understands people’s struggles and aspirations.
Bik, known locally for his strong grassroots connections and reputation for addressing community issues, has outlined a forward-looking agenda centered on:
Urban Planning & Development – improving infrastructure, modernizing city design, and expanding access to services.
Cryptocurrency & Digital Economy – building Nepal’s first “Crypto Valley” model to attract investment, generate jobs, and put Rupandehi on the global innovation map.
Commercialization of Gautam Buddha International Airport – transforming the facility into a regional economic hub by boosting trade, tourism, and aviation-linked industries.
