Upcoming budget will be introduced innovatively: PM Dahal

KATHMANDU: Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal has announced that the policies and programmes, and budget for the upcoming fiscal year will be introduced in an innovative manner. 

Addressing the party cadres' gathering organised by the CPN (Maoist Centre) Sunkoshi Rural Municipality Committee in Mulkot, Sindhuli district today, PM Dahal, who also serves as the Chairperson of CPN (MC), stated that the national economy has seen significant improvement since he took the helm of the government.

PM Dahal suggested that the government's upcoming policies and programmes, and budget will be crafted with a focus on those trailing in the economic index, thereby laying the foundation for socialism. 

To ensure the government's forthcoming policies and programmes are more people-centric, he mentioned that input will be sought from various parties.

Dahal, in his capacity as the Head of the Government, stated that the current government has steadfastly championed the cause for good governance, social justice, and prosperity, setting a new precedent in the process. 

He noted that the incumbent government has made considerable efforts to deliver justice for victims of usury, curb gold smuggling, and bring the culprits of the Lalita Niwas Land Grab scam to justice, among other initiatives.

He reaffirmed his commitment to continuing public-oriented works, despite some resistance to the reformative actions spearheaded by the government.

On a different note, the Prime Minister highlighted that the current government has nurtured Nepal's relations with international communities in a balanced manner, and diplomatic ties with other countries have been further fortified through the exchange of high-level visits in recent times.
