Union interference is making the state negative: Chief Minister Acharya

He said that the federal government should not interfere with the rights of the state and local levels. He expressed his displeasure by saying that the union has stopped the budget and made the province negative.

On the eve of Constitution Day, Chief Minister Acharya said that the federal government should not interfere under any pretext with the rights given to the states and local levels by the constitution while addressing the interaction program on 'Federalism' organized in Lumbini province on Wednesday. 'No one should interfere with the rights clearly provided by the constitution,' he said, 'the union cannot stop any right given by the constitution, it is against the constitution to stop the budget of the state.' ;.

Lumbini provincial government is at a loss after the federal government cut more than 2 billion equalization grants to the province at the end of last year. After the federal government did not give, the state government has not been able to pay 2 billion 180 million for more than 150 projects completed. The builders are warning to stop the work if they do not get the money even after completing the work .

Chief Minister Acharya reached Kathmandu with the jumbo cabinet of Lumbini province to ask for grant money towards equalization from the federal government, but now he has expressed dissatisfaction with the federal government. The jumbo cabinet team including Chief Minister Acharya of Lumbini met with Prime Minister Oli of the Federal Government, Finance Minister Bishnu Paudel, Congress Chairman Sher Bahadur Deuba and Maoist Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal and returned in the first week of July.

He also said that there are many complications in the economic sector due to the state government not being able to receive equalization grants according to the rights mentioned in the constitution. "When the amount of equalization subsidy was stopped by the Union Government, the province had to face financial crisis," he said, "It has been heard that the federal parliamentarians have been misusing the power to give the province authority." This type of waste is not acceptable. He said that the state government has worked in this 7-year period so that the people can feel it.

He said that the constitution should also strengthen the provinces legally for the simplification of federalism. He also claimed that the citizens have realized the good works done by the state government. "The provincial government is made up of the people," he said, "the responsibility of the federal government is also to protect them." Although there are some problems due to political instability, he clarified that after the formation of the provincial government, those problems will become secondary.

The speakers who spoke at the Intertria program organized by the Lumbini Province Coordination and Federalism and Localization Center of the Office of the Chief Minister and the Council of Ministers urged them to pay attention to the fact that even though federalism has been realized politically, financial and administrative federalism has not been fully realized.

Speaker of Lumbini Province Tularam Ghartimagar said that everyone should be honest for the realization of federalism. "Where we are". We are in charge . It is important to carry out the responsibility honestly,'' he said. And only then can federalism be strengthened.

He said that it is a challenge that the laws made by the provinces cannot be implemented when the federal government does not enact laws. 'The federal government has become unfriendly to the state,' he said, 'I believe that the constitution should be amended to end the instability.' Tell me what to do. However, he said, the federal government has not yet tried to give powers to the state and local levels and has become intolerant of federalism. "The driver of development is the state government". The local government is the driver of service delivery,' he said, 'Today's need is to reduce the number of ministries in the Singh Darbar and strengthen the provincial and local levels.'
