Galkot (Bagalung). Bhupendra Budha, the vice chairman of Putha Uttarganga Rural Municipality of Rukum East, had asked for votes through Facebook to win her as the female representative of She Leads Icon on Thursday.
However, his dream of becoming She Leeds icon ended forever with the jeep accident in Galkot Municipality-2 on Friday. An old man who was returning home after treating his mother’s leg died in an accident along with his mother. 33-year-old Vice President Budha and his mother Gopimaya Budha, 61, died in a jeep accident at Galkot in Baglung while Rukum was returning to the east after a week-long stay in Kathmandu after treating his mother’s leg.
Along with them, Jas Bahadur Sripali, the ward chairman of the same rural municipality-2, also died on the spot. Pratap Paudel, Information Officer of District Police Office Baglung, said that the village jeep Rukum was going east when it went out of control and fell on the hill of Bhunkhani.
“The accident occurred when the village vice president was returning home after getting her leg treated,” said information officer Paudel, “She was selected as the female representative of She Lids Icon. After being selected as the top 27 of She Lids Icon, she was on her way home from Kathmandu asking for votes on social media. .”
In the competition, a competition was held between the people’s representatives who did the best work across the country. 27 female public representatives, including heads and deputy heads of various municipalities across the country, were selected as the best icons based on ‘online’ votes. However, the number of one person from the list has decreased since Friday.
Prem Bahadur, a 29-year-old resident of Rukum East Bhumi Rural Municipality-3, was seriously injured in the accident. After receiving treatment at Dhaulagiri Hospital, he was sent to Pokhara for further treatment after suffering a serious head injury. On Friday, a pick-up jeep numbered RA1J 200 went out of control and fell approximately 300 meters from the road.
Only a few days ago, Vice President Budha posted a picture on social media where he was treating his mother’s leg and walking her around the temple. He also toured Kathmandu with the treatment of his mother who was left alone after the death of his father. Vice President Budha lost his father seven years ago. He was taking care of his mother himself. The entire rural municipality is in mourning after the death of the vice president, who was returning home after treating his mother, along with his mother and the ward chairman, in a jeep accident.
