Chairman of the CPN Maoist Center Pushpa Kamal Dahal has said that if the government reduces the equalization subsidy, the government will go in the opposite direction. Dahal, who came to Gulmi to inaugurate the administrative building of Malika rural municipality, said that he would seriously talk to the government about the matter.

"I only heard yesterday that the government is talking about reducing or cutting equalization," he said. "The Federal Civil Service Act, due to the lack of which the states are struggling, I registered that act after a lot of pain, the School Education Act has also been passed in the House after a lot of effort, the Police Adjustment Act is also in the process of implementation, but there are some complications and challenges, we are debating on it," said Dahal, "I think that if those laws are passed, the state and the local level will definitely become stronger." "It is not just because the local people have arrived at Singha Durbar, it is necessary to increase their awareness and their activism as well," he said. Dahal praised the local levels led by the Maoists as having become the best performing local levels in the country every year in the government evaluation. Malika Rural Municipality was the best in the country in the assessment of the Finance Commission last year.
