KATHMANDU: Leaders of various political parties have given mixed reaction to the policy and program of the fiscal year 2079-80 introduced by the government Tuesday.
Commenting on the policy and program, Minister for Communications and Information Technology Gyanendra Bahadur Karki described the policies and programs as a blueprint to make Nepal prosperous. The policy and program is reflection of our dream of bringing prosperity to the country. “It is not just an assurance, it will be implemented.”
Likewise, Chair of the Federal Council of the Janata Samajwadi Party of Nepal and former Prime Minister Dr Baburam Bhattarai said that the policies and programs were positive in totality but were insufficient for the overall economic development of the country.
Chair of CPN (Unified Socialist) and former Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal also remarked that the policies and programs were positive as the country’s agriculture, energy development, tourism promotion and other sectors were given the highest priority.
CPN (UML) Vice Chairman and former Finance Minister Surendra Pandey said that many issues included in the policy and program have been repeated for a long time. He also said that it would be difficult to implement everything mentioned in the policy and programme due to limited size of our budget.
Rastriya Prajatantra Party Chairman Rajendra Lingden remarked that there would be problems in implementation due to the traditional nature of budget as in the past.
