There is doubt that a weak company will build the Budhigandaki project: Bhattarai

The government has advanced the work of the project through Budhigandaki Jalvidyut Company Limited. During a conversation with media personnel in home district Gorkha on Thursday, he said that he did not think that the project would be completed in this condition.

'I think it is the opposite of a project of national pride, I don't think a small, weak company can complete such a large multi-purpose project,' he said. Bhattarai said that he suspected that Budhigand's plan would collapse due to political instability and the change of government.

'You have talked about the modality of investment etc., the full details are yet to be seen,' he said, "Looking at what has come out, I don't think it will be completed on time, I suspect that they have abandoned the Budhigandaki project, this is a sad thing." "The last government did the work of bringing pure hydropower only as a plan, Nepal can only make a multi-purpose plan by itself It was thought that it could be transformed as a game changer plan,' he said, "Nepal should be built by itself so that technical experience is also gained, manpower is also prepared, not only hydroelectricity, but also the proper use of water and other tourism and other industries are developed." He also told that there is a concept of making Budhigand within the autonomous authority. "At first, they decided to give it to a foreign company in an opaque manner. After widespread opposition, it was decided that Nepal would make it by itself, but there has been a lot of hesitation," he said.
