The Chief Minister of Karnali Province, Yamlal Kandel, has said that due to the inter-relationship between the time he was in the opposition and when he came to power, the House and the government did not work as expected. While in the opposition, Chief Minister Kandel, who was criticized for not being able to do administrative structures and development works under the powers given to the states by the union, said that after coming to power, he could not guarantee the government to the citizens due to legal obstacles.

In the 'Mukhyamantri seng Kantipur' program, Chief Minister Kandel commented that the federal government's reluctance to hand over rights as per the constitution has caused complications in the province.

He said that even though the provincial structure was built on the basis of the federalism envisioned by the constitution, when the mentality was centralized, it had an effect on all areas. "Yesterday politics was the main thing, today prosperity and development is the main thing. The priorities of the seven provinces are different, and the conditions of resources are also different. However, due to the centralized mentality, the influence of the union has reached the province, he said. 

He said that the mindset of changing the government based on numbers and not on the basis of public opinion also affected  "If a system of building a government based on public opinion is established, stability will come and it will help meet the expectations of the people," he said.

Leader of Congress Parliamentary Party and former Chief Minister Jeevan Bahadur Shahi said that if the federal government does not decentralize the powers, the legitimacy of the state government may be questioned. "If it is to be guided by the center, then the question of why the state government is needed," he said, "if the state government is to be operated by the center, neither prosperity nor development is possible." 

He said that since the federal government could not create the necessary laws, the state government could not work to meet the expectations of the people. "If the budget brought by the previous government cannot be implemented in such a way that it will be adopted by the next government, the citizens cannot feel the government," said Shahi, "People expect a new plan from the new government, which affects the relationship between the citizens and the government." "Because the provincial structure cannot operate according to the concept of the constitution, some necessary laws have not been made, and the provinces have not been able to make the necessary laws because the federal government has not made laws," he said.

Mahendra KC, the head of Musikot municipality in Rukum West, said that the plan coming from the state government should not be repeated with the plan at the local level. "Rather than small piecemeal schemes, the provincial government should be able to cover the plans that the local level cannot cover," he said. Mohanmaya Dhakal, head of Birendranagar municipality, opined that coordination between the local level and the state government is complicated due to the lack of a clear legal basis. As the capital of the state is Birendranagar, the population is increasing rapidly. The provincial government should increase the budget and invest in education, health etc., she said.

Parvati Singh Sanjyal, vice president of Sanni Triveni Rural Municipality, commented that it is difficult to build education, health and roads in Kalikot due to geographical difficulties. The local level is not able to dig half a kilometer of road, but the expectations of the people are high. Therefore, the state government should prioritize the budget,' she said. 

Chairman of Choukune Rural Municipality, Khadak Wik, said that because the builders are strong, when they reach the final stage of taking action, they get away with amending the procurement act. Dhir Bahadur Bista, secretary of United Samajwadi Surkhet, opined that if the Upper Karnali hydropower project and extraction of petroleum products in Dailekh can be done in Karnali province, which has immense potential of water resources, the income of the province will increase. Local Prakash Khadka complained that the union and state governments give slogans for youth development but fail to come up with practical plans.
