Political life[]
Pradip Giri is as famous at the national level as he is at the local level. During the Madhes movement, his role was in favor of the agitators. It is now understood that he is planning to win that emotional vote as well. Giri, 68, is known as a socialist thinker and intellectual leader in the country and abroad along with Congress politics. Giri was elected as a member of the House of Representatives from Siraha Constituency No. 5 in the 2051 general election.[3]
He became a proportional member from the Congress in the first and second Constituent Assembly elections.[4]
He didn't sign the Constitution of Nepal 2072 citing it was incomplete and did not fulfill the demand of all citizens.[5] Giri said, "It is true that I did not sign the constitution passed ignoring the demands of the Madhesi people. I have boycotted the parliament by raising the demand of Madhesis, the Madhesi people have understood this."[3] He is currently serving as the member of the 1st Federal Parliament of Nepal. In the 2017 Nepalese general election he was elected from the Siraha 1 constituency, securing 23951(39.82%) votes.[6]
He is influenced by the works of B.R. Ambedkar, the constitution maker of India.
