Hetaunda, which started to flourish since 2011, is now established as the capital of Bagmati province. After the flood in 2011, Bhainse and Dhursing Bazar were damaged, the settlements in Hetaunda were expanded. Hetaunda, which became a municipality in 2026, has now succeeded in becoming the capital of the federal capital, Kathmandu.

The constitution of 2072 transformed the state into a federal structure with 7 provinces, 77 districts, and 753 local levels. After the implementation of the federal structure, the government designated Hetaunda as the temporary capital of Province 3 in 2074. After the first state assembly election of 2074, the state government was formed under the leadership of Dormani Paudel of UML. Under the leadership of the same government led by Chief Minister Paudel, the two-thirds majority of the Provincial Assembly on 27th of January 2076 established the name of Province 3 as Bagmati and the permanent capital Hetaunda. 

In the proposal registered by the then Chief Minister Paudel, the leader of the Congress parliamentary party Indra Bahadur Baniyan and the MP of RPP were supporters. From the 110-member provincial assembly, 104 votes were cast in favor of the name of Wagmati and Hetaunda capital, while only three were against it. Only three MPs of Viveksheel Sajhar registered a proposal to make Dhulikhel the permanent capital. Even though it has been almost 5 years since the transition from the temporary capital to the permanent capital, the provincial government has not been able to build a permanent structure. 

The provincial government does not seem to have taken any initiative to build a permanent structure, on the other hand, all contact offices of the provincial ministries or directorates have been opened in Kathmandu. This has gradually increased the activity of Hetounda when the provincial capital was designated.

"There is fear that Hetaunda, the capital of Wagmati Province, will be limited to name only," said former Chief Minister Paudel, "Ministry or other provincial level programs are gradually moving towards Kathmandu". This is not a good sign for Hetaunda.' If the structure is not built, the situation of Hetaunda has not changed. After becoming the provincial capital, health is an area that has worked effectively in Hetaunda. Hetaunda Hospital, which is introducing itself as a referral hospital, is now providing various services to thousands of patients daily. The provincial capital has an important role in the renovation of Hetaunda Hospital.

The country is at the stage of completing eight years of implementation of federalism. From the two general elections held during this period, Wagmati province has got five chief ministers and 79 people have been made ministers. UML, Maoist Center, United Socialists and Congress got the opportunity to lead the government from the two parliaments formed after federalism.

After the first election held in 2074 after federalism, the UML has taken the leadership of the government twice and the United Socialist Party once. The government formed from two different power equations had three chief ministers and 39 ministers. After the second state assembly election held in November 2079, there have been two chief ministers and 40 ministers. Wagmati, which had three chief ministers in the first term of the parliament, out of the total 110 parliamentarians in the state, 39 people got the opportunity to become ministers during this period. 

The provincial government formed on 28 January 2074 was led by UML's Dormani Paudel . He established 7 ministries in the province and ran the government for 43 months (3 years and 7 months). During that period, he made 5 ministers of UML and 2 ministers of Maoist center . Initially, Paudel, who became the Chief Minister from CPN (a party formed after the merger of UML-Maoist Center), got the support of 82 MPs.

Paudel, who led the government for about 43 months (3 years and 7 months), lost the support of the Maoist center in February 2077. After losing the support of the Maoist Center and UML from the CPN, it got the support of only 59 MPs of the UML. When the Paudel-led government was formed, UML's Keshav became the Minister of Physical Infrastructure Development, while Shalikram Jamkattel of the Maoist Center became the Minister of Internal Affairs and Law. 

On February 16, 2074, Chief Minister Paudel expanded the cabinet and appointed Kailash Dhungel as Minister of Economic Affairs and Planning, Arun Nepal as Minister of Industry, Tourism, Forestry and Environment, Dawa Dorje Lama as Minister of Land Management, Agriculture and Cooperatives, and Yuvraj Dulal as Minister of Social Development.

Keshav, who was appointed as a minister on February 16, 2074, was dismissed on October 16, 2075, and Paudel expanded the cabinet again and made Rameshwar Phuyal the Minister of Physical Infrastructure Development.

After the UML and the Maoist Center woke up with the dissolution of the CPN, Poudel reconstituted the Cabinet again on 15 May 2078. In which Minister of Internal Affairs and Law Keshavraj Pandey, Minister of Industry, Tourism, Forest and Environment Saresh Nepal and Minister of Social Development Saraswati Basnet became . At that time Dr. Ramkumar Adhikari became the Minister of State . During Paudel's term alone, 10 ministers including the state minister became . After changing the political course, Paudel resigned from the post of Chief Minister on August 2, 2078 and UML's Ashtalakshmi Shakya led the state government for some time.

On August 2, 2078, on the same day that UML split, Poudel handed over power to UML Vice President Ashtalakshmi Shakya. In his cabinet, Krishna Prasad Khanal became the social development minister for a short time . During Shakya's tenure, 11 people, including the state minister, got a chance to become ministers. Rajendra Pandey of the United Socialists became the Chief Minister on behalf of the coalition formed after the collapse of the Shakya-led government. On October 10, 2078, on the same day, Pandey, who claimed to be in the government with the support of the Congress and the Maoist Center, became the Chief Minister on October 11 with the support of 59 MPs. During his 14-month tenure, 14 ministries were established and 18 ministers were appointed.

The then Chief Minister Pandey appointed Krishna Prasad Khanal, Kumari Moktan and Krishna Lal Bhandel as ministers on 11 October 2078, the day he was appointed. After that, when he added ministers 2 times, Shalikram Jamkattel, Ghanshyam Dahal, Ratna Prasad Dhakal, Vishal Khadka, Vasant Prasad Manandhar of United Socialist Party, Vasundhara Humagarin, Balram Paudel of Congress, Milan Babu Shrestha, Dipendra Shrestha, Nima Lama got the opportunity to become ministers. Indramaya Gurung of United Samajwadi Party, Sant Bahadur Chepang of Congress, Rajni Amatya Jonche and Kalpana Nepali were appointed state ministers.

The constant impact of the change in the political equation that took place during that period continued to affect Bagmati province . In this province, which has a total of 110 MPs, Shalikram Jamkattel, the leader of the Maoist Center, and Bahadur Singh Lama of the Congress have got the chance to lead the government. After the second state assembly election, Jamkattel was appointed as the chief minister for the first time on 25th January 2079, and continued to lead the government by changing alliances with Congress, UML, RPP and our Nepali Party in the House.

He appointed 26 ministers during his term . During Jamkattel's tenure, 4 MPs were again appointed as ministers. During his tenure, UML's Jagannath Thapalia, Ekalal Shrestha, Keshav Prasad Pokhrel and Rameshwar Shrestha were reappointed as ministers. Jamkattel took the vote of confidence in the House three times during this period. The last time, without taking the vote of confidence, he resigned and paved the way. With the change of political events, he managed the government through 3 equations.

Congress leader Lama, who was appointed as the Chief Minister on July 9, is running the government by appointing 14 ministers. He has promised that good governance is his first priority and he will work in such a way that the people feel it. 

The changing culture of the alliance has affected the division of ministries, budget implementation, government policies and programs, and service delivery.

federalism expert and former National Assembly member Dr. According to Khimlal Devkota, instability and frustration among the people is increasing in the country due to the change of alliance. "When the government changes continuously, the frustration of the people increased . As there is a negative impact on the delivery of services to the citizens, a question mark is being raised on federalism,' he said that the need of the moment is to fully strengthen the stable government and federalism. 

When the provincial government is unstable, its direct impact is also on the law making . The province has created 63 basic laws since its establishment. At the time of the establishment of the provincial government, about 99 laws were identified to fully operate the province. So far, 80 laws, 14 ordinances, 41 regulations, 3 regulations, 9 guidelines, 66 procedures, 12 standards, 14 orders have been created in Wagmati. 239 of them have been published in the provincial gazette.

The constitution has arranged for the basic structure of the state to be operated from the union, state and local levels under the federal structure. There is a constitutional arrangement to be based on the principle of relationship, cooperation, coexistence and coordination between the union, state and local levels. In practice, the federalism union is controlled. The state government has not been able to get the rights provided in the constitution. Police, administration are not under the provincial government, all industrial areas are under the federal government.

Since the federal government has made the provincial government helpless and powerless, honest people are also pointing fingers at the justification of the provincial government. The working methods of the provincial government are also not blameless . The concept of 'unequal distribution equal development' is not even in the state government. The state government is obsessed with the idea of ​​distributing equal amount to Rubyvalley Rural Municipality and Manhari Rural Municipality and seeking equal development.
