The Lumbini Provincial Assembly meeting has resumed after a special address by Chief Minister Chet Narayan Acharya. The meeting, which was adjourned for half an hour after the main opposition party and other opposition parties boycotted the meeting on Sunday, began after Chief Minister Acharya made the government's position on the issues raised by the opposition public.

Addressing the meeting, Chief Minister Acharya expressed his commitment to move forward by addressing the missed and insufficient plans during the budget allocation through various means. He said that the necessary budget will be added to important projects, resources will be managed through transfers in the successive plans, and the necessary projects will be implemented by including them in the multi-year plan.

'I want to assure you that the government will move forward by addressing those important projects that have a budget shortfall. Where the constituency has become high and low.' We can compensate those places through various means,' he said, 'There is a similar situation in other provinces. We can compensate some sequential plans by transferring funds. We can address some projects by taking them to multi-year terms. The concerns and interests expressed by the people here are a common issue for everyone. The government is not in favor of moving forward by ignoring this.'

Stating that if there is less or more planning based on the constituency, it will also be balanced through various means, Chief Minister Acharya said that other provinces have also adopted this practice.
He claimed that the government is prepared to move forward small and essential plans through maintenance programs and also address plans left out by the ministry.

Stating that the concerns and concerns raised by the opposition parties are a common issue for the government, he assured that the government will fully implement the commitments expressed in the House. His commitment was that the government would not ignore any issue.

Chief Minister Acharya also said that the government has given high priority to the provincial hospital and provincial pride projects. Informing that the process of acquiring land for the establishment of a technical university has reached the final stage and the necessary budget has been allocated, he said that a budget of two billion rupees has been allocated for the Lumbini Provincial Hospital.

Stating that the work of the Rampur-Kapurkot road project is progressing through a multi-year contract, he said that the government has also given continuity to the work of the remaining sections. He clarified that all provincial pride projects will be implemented with priority.

Stating that the government has taken the suggestions and attention raised by the opposition MPs seriously, Chief Minister Acharya said that the government is determined to implement all the commitments expressed in the House. In the meeting that began after the Chief Minister's commitment, UML deputy leader Bhoj Prasad Shrestha, the chief whip of the main opposition party Indrajit Tharu, and Congress provincial assembly member Nima Giri have also expressed their views. All three of them have complained that the budget is not equitable. They demand that it be corrected.

The agenda of Sunday's meeting is to hold a theoretical discussion on the annual estimate of revenue and expenditure (budget) presented by the provincial government for the fiscal year 2083/084. The meeting had been continuously called and postponed since Asad 20. The budget presented by Minister for Economic Affairs and Planning Dhanendra Karki for the upcoming fiscal year has been in controversy. Minister Karki had made public the budget of Rs 37.38 billion 45 million for the upcoming fiscal year on Asad 1.
