Kathmandu: An offensive social media post made by the leading Nepal PM candidate Balendra Shah in November 2025 resurfaced on Friday as the counting of votes for the country's Parliamentary elections are underway.
In a late night post on Facebook, Shah, who was then the Mayor of Kathmandu Metropolitan City, used a derogatory word against India, America, China, Nepal's political parties Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) and Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP), among others. The post had triggered a massive political storm, forcing Shah to deleted it later.
The offensive post read:
"F**k America

F** India
F** China

F**k UML
F**k Congress
F**k RSP
F**k RPP
F**k Maobaadi
You guys all combined can do nothing."
Notably, Balen Shah got his master’s degree in structural engineering from Visvesvaraya Technological University in India's Karnataka. Shah is not new to controversy. Earlier this year, he received flak after a video showed him driving a Land Rover Defender, worth nearly 40 million Nepali rupees, while campaigning for the elections.
A former rapper with a strong appeal among youngsters, Shah is emerging victorious in early trends of the counting of votes and is set to become the next Prime Minister of Nepal Shah' Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) is leading in 94 constituencies.
The election marked the first voting in the country after the massive Gen-Z protest that toppled the KP Sharma Oli government.
