13 days after it was presented in the parliament, the budget of Gandaki province for the next financial year 2082/83 has been passed. The MPs of the ruling party were not happy with this budget which was dominated by the Chief Minister, former Chief Minister, Minister of Economic Affairs, Policy and Planning Commission Vice Chairman, Finance Secretary.

On Friday, before the budget was passed, UML MP Shyamraja Mahat recited a line of poetry at zero time:

You are crying when you remember,

Sisno gaagdi flower masyo baguni

This poem he recited saying that there is an obligation to support the budget was an indication that he was suffering in the distribution of the scheme . Not only the opposition, but the MPs of the ruling party are not satisfied with the budget. From the 5 ministries that have the development budget, the directly elected MPs of the ruling party were given a ceiling of about 4.5 crores, about 40 million rupees for the directly elected opposition MPs, about 2.5 million rupees for the proportional MPs of the ruling party and about 20 million rupees for the proportional opposition MPs . When the chief minister, former chief minister, minister distributes the budget arbitrarily under the responsibility of new and multi-year plans, many other MPs have become innocent. 

The infrastructure budget of the Ministry of Physical Infrastructure Development and Transport, which occupies about 40 percent of the total budget, has been invested in the area of ​​the Chief Minister and former Chief Minister. About 4 billion of the 11 billion 98 million budget has been allocated only to add new schemes in two districts and pay liabilities. This is 33 percent of the total budget of the Ministry of Physical .

Chief Minister Surendraraj Pandey's home district of Gorkha has received a budget of 1 billion 55 million rupees for only 154 projects from the Infrastructure Development Office. In Kaski, the home district of UML party leader Khagraj Adhikari and Physical Infrastructure Development Minister Prakash Bahadur KC, who is the former Chief Minister, a budget of 1.8 billion has been allocated for 169 schemes. Half of this budget i.e. 93 crore 18 lakh rupees has been allocated to Kaski Constituency No. 1 . This is the constituency of former Chief Minister and UML party leader Adhikari from where he contested the House of Representatives elections before 079 and the State Assembly elections in 079. Physical Minister KC, who is a proportional member of parliament, also represents this constituency. 

24 schemes of Rs 599.3 million allocated in Kaski Region No. 1 are Kaski 1 (A) which is the place where party leader Adhikari won the election . In his constituency, under the supplementary grant, two schemes are worth 333 million 16 lakh rupees. Apart from these two big plans, the budget has been allocated for the rest of the old and new plans. Minister of Economic Affairs Dr. In Lamjung, the home district of Takaraj Gurung, 82 schemes worth 795.9 million rupees have been planned.

Initially, a ceiling of 9 billion 47 crores was given to the Ministry of Physical Infrastructure . The Ministry also sent the plan to the Ministry of Economic Affairs. However, when the budget of the physical ministry came, it came to 12 billion rupees. In addition to the limited plans added by the ministry later, there are plans for the Chief Minister, former Chief Minister, Minister of Economic Affairs, Vice President of Policy and Planning Commission and Finance Secretary . Finance Secretary Rajendradev Pandey has budgeted only 85.8 million rupees in his ward.

In the past, there were many multi-year plans, the infrastructure that was built with the investment of the union and the state, and the chief minister and former chief minister took it to their constituencies. UML MP Ganeshman Gurung, elected from Kaski 3, expressed his anger in the parliament saying that the budget was concentrated in the area of ​​Chief Minister, former Chief Minister and party leader. While participating in the budget discussion of the Ministry of Physical Sciences, he expressed his displeasure from the rostrum that the budget was dominated. "What kind of commentary is building a house in Nepathya, if it is not the development of the province, then one should be a big person to develop one's home, village, district, neighborhood, ward, district, region," he said. They have said that it is not the work of the Hon'ble.'

statistics show that a lot of budget has been dug in the constituencies of the Chief Minister and former Chief Minister, but they are not ready to accept it. Chief Minister Surendraraj Pandey says that due to the large number of old multi-year plans, the budget in his home district has gone too much. "I had to be told to fulfill the obligations of 10 other districts, but not for Gorkha!" he said in the Parliament meeting on Friday, "Otherwise, even if he becomes the minister of water supply, infrastructure minister, and chief minister, he cannot escape from his responsibility." He said that there is an increase in the budget because of not being able to run away. He said that except for water supply and infrastructure, there is an equal level of budget in the ministry because there is no liability.

Physical Minister Prakash Bahadur KC claimed that there is a lot of budget in Kaski due to the capital of the state, a district with a large population and remaining obligations from the previous year. He said that 1 billion 124 million has been allocated to Infrastructure Development Office Kaski, 24 million 12 million from Directorate of Infrastructure Development, and 12 million rupees to Urban Development and Building Office Kaski for multi-year planning . It seems that a large amount of money has been allocated when the budget has to be allocated for the five-year obligations of all the offices of Kaski,' he said, 'as it is an urban area with a large population, the capital of the state and the tourism capital of the country, it cannot be considered abnormal to have some more budget allocation.'

Other MPs do not agree on the fact that the budget appears to be too much when paying the liabilities as claimed by the Chief Minister and the Minister. The MP complains that there is no equitable distribution even to reduce the liability . "When others need 40 million, they give 100 million. When they take responsibility for themselves, the budget seems too much!" said a member of parliament from the ruling party. There should be justice even in the responsibility.'

Chief Minister Pandey insists that there is no discrimination in the budget from him. He claims that the dream has remained unfulfilled due to small resources. Before passing the budget of 31 billion 97 million 97 thousand, he recited a poem at the end: 

I have heard, I have understood all your words

You are rich and small, dreams are incomplete, others

you asked questions from poems and songs

There is no difference, you are sure I am from Surendraraj Pandey
