There is a race going on among the members of the Sudurpaschim Provincial Assembly to hand over the plan and budget on their recommendation. On Saturday, the meetings of the ruling Congress and UML parliamentary parties along with the main opposition party Maoists were held. In the meeting of all the three parties, the MPs strongly demanded that they get a budget and plan in the budget for the next financial year 2082/083.

According to an MP who participated in the informal meeting of the Congress Parliamentary Party, the proportional MPs demanded that they should get the budget in the plan as well as directly elected MPs before the party leader and Chief Minister Kamal Bahadur Shah.

Some MPs who were elected in that order made a sarcastic remark, ``Why does a proportional MP want a budget that doesn't cost as much as we do when we fight elections?'' Double sarcasm went on for a while . Chief Minister Shah, Economic Affairs Minister Bahadur Singh Thapa and Social Development Minister Meghraj Khadka were present in the meeting. But none of them gave any response, said an MP.

Since then, UML has claimed that the proportional MPs should get the same budget as directly in the parliamentary party meeting . According to a member of parliament who participated in the meeting, the meeting did not make any decision. Similarly, in the meeting of the Maoist party, proportional parliamentarians also requested that they should receive the same budget directly and through the party parliamentary party.

"We said it would be unfair for the government to discriminate in budget allocation when the constitution gives equal status to MPs elected through direct and proportional election system," MP Lakshmi Bik said. is .

In doing so, the government is preparing to allocate 2 billion 23 billion budget for the parliamentarians through a detour. But proportional MPs are demanding that they should get 50 million. The government included the scheme in the budget of the current financial year by giving a budget of 40 million to the directly elected and 20 million to the proportional MP. But the parliamentarians did not publicize the plan of the equivalent budget for their share .

Proportional parliamentarians have started loving that they should get the budget directly from a week ago . On Friday, proportional parliamentarians of all parties, in the name of the Parliamentary Women's Coordination Committee, requested the Chief Minister with a memorandum to allocate budget and programs with priority in the field of women. In the

memorandum, they asked for appropriate program and budget allocation in the areas of gender equality and empowerment, equitable and inclusive development, education and skill development and health and nutrition. "It is written that way because it is a little inconsistent to say that the budget is the same as directly elected parliamentarians in the written document," said one of the parliamentarians. After the Supreme Court stopped the implementation of Constituency Development Fund (Parliamentary Fund) allocated by the government in the budget of 080/81 so that the members of the state assembly could fence the scheme, the government and the parliamentarians chose a detour in the budget of the current financial year.
