The government of Sudurpaschim Province will allocate the budget for the MP's scheme in the next financial year 2082/83. The state government has prepared to allocate a budget equal to five crores for directly elected MPs and three crores for proportionally elected MPs.
There are 32 directly elected and 21 proportional MPs in the 53-member Sudurpaschim Provincial Assembly. For them, the government is going to allocate 2 billion 230 million in a roundabout way. Every member of parliament has to submit a plan equal to the budget of his part to the government.
The parliamentarians have said that the issue of setting a limit for the plan to be submitted in that way has not been decided until Saturday's discussion. "Plans will be submitted according to the wishes of the parliamentarians," said a member of the ruling Congress.
Even in the current fiscal year 2081/82, the government allocated a budget for MPs and demanded a plan accordingly. The government allocated 4 crores to directly elected MPs and 20 crores to proportional MPs. According to which, 1 billion 700 million was allocated for MPs in an unannounced manner. Directly elected MPs submitted plans worth 4 crores and proportional MPs submitted plans worth 20 crores to the office of the Chief Minister and Council of Ministers.
MPs chose that scheme not on the basis of any criteria but on the basis of voluntary and compatibility and being activist-oriented. Plans of choice and recommendations of MPs were included in the Annual Program (Red Book).
The government used a roundabout way in the budget of the current financial year after the Supreme Court stopped the implementation of the Constituency Development Fund (Parliamentary Fund) allocated in the budget of the financial year 2080/81 so that the members of the state assembly could share the plans. In the last financial year, the state government allocated a budget of Rs 3 crore to each MP.
State parliamentarians have been complaining since the past that they have not got the right to plan and allocate the budget so that they can run the budget. This time also they were in constant lobbying for budget allocation. They have been complaining that they had to be innocent and humiliated in the selection of plans and budget allocation.
"We ask for people's votes by committing to development plans, but we do not have any role during the budget making, nor are we sought," Congress MP Padam Bahadur Shahi said, "The role and dignity of a state MP is not the same as that of a ward president."
