Former Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai commented that the new budget is another form of continuation of the past. Commenting on the budget presented at the joint meeting of the Parliament, Finance Minister Barshman Pun said that the budget has not been able to 'disrupt' the increase in production, the creation of millions of jobs, and the increase in the quality of education.

"Budget could not be brought in order to disrupt the overall economy by structural reforms," ​​he said.

does not happen only because it is oriented towards socialism. The main objective is to increase production. But there is no plan for fair distribution.'' This budget is a populist program mixed with right-wing and left-wing parties. "Yes," he said, "the government is as tight-knit as the budget is."

He said that Finance Minister Pun failed to bring a program to reform the structure of the economy as a whole. "Without reforming the structure of the overall economy, the country will not have a basis for going to a highly developed country." He said that since the budget allocated for capital expenditure in this budget is about 20 percent, there is a risk that the prosperity that will come from it will only be a slogan. Some popular programs and slogans have been given. He said that since the agriculture country has been announced, the budget has decreased.
