Before the budget was passed, Chief Minister Surendraraj Pandey and the minister answered the questions raised in the discussion. Chief Minister Pandey said that in his home district Gorkha, the budget has gone too much due to the large number of old multi-year plans. "I had to be told to fulfill the obligations of the other 10 districts, but not for Gorkha!" he said. He said that there is an increase in the budget because of not being able to run away.
