The government has not been free from controversy over issues such as the attempt to grant tax exemption to Dolma Impact, the demolition of a house in Hetauda in violation of the Supreme Court's interim order, and the appointment of a relative of the personal secretary to the Prime Minister's Secretariat.

The government formed under the leadership of Sushila Karki after the Gen-G protests on 23 and 24 Bhadra has completed 90 days.
Karki, a former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court who became Prime Minister on 27 Bhadra, had two main responsibilities at the time. To maintain good governance and take a strong stand against corruption, and to hand over responsibility to the new government by holding elections on 21 Falgun.
After the government did some good work in these three months, it has not been immune to controversial decisions. The Supreme Court itself had overturned the removal of Hitendra Dev Shakya as the Executive Director of Nepal Electricity Authority, describing it as a 'vindictive decision' . Similarly, the decision to abolish the Land Commission and its district structure was also overturned by the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court also stayed the implementation of the decision to recall ambassadors of 21 different countries. But instead of allowing them to work, the government made them appear before the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Similarly, the government could not remain free from controversy over issues such as the attempt to give tax exemption to Dolma Impact , the demolition of houses for road expansion in Hetauda
despite an interim order from the Supreme Court, and the appointment of his family members by Personal Secretary Adarsh Shrestha in Prime Minister Karki's secretariat. Similarly, the circular issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs stating that criminal action will not be taken against those involved in the crime during the 24 Bhadra protest, the failure to form a Property Investigation Commission, and the act of keeping the property details of the Prime Minister and ministers secret also came under controversy. The government has also done some good things during this period. The government reached a 10-point agreement between the government and the Gen-G. This has institutionalized and documented the Gen-G movement and made everyone accountable to the constitution. Similarly, the government appointed Dan Bahadur Karki, who was still the first in line to the position of Inspector General of Nepal Police (IGP). Although the decision to appoint an IGP has been controversial in the past, it was not like that this time. Suman Raj Aryal, who was senior to him, became the Chief Secretary immediately after Ek Narayan Aryal retired. This decision was also without controversy. Similarly, the government formed a commission under the leadership of former Special Court President Gauri Bahadur Karki to investigate the incidents that took place during the Gen-G movement. The commission is taking statements from various officials and those involved in the incidents of 23 and 24 Bhadra. Similarly, the Karki government has also reduced the exploitation of state resources by keeping a long list of secretariats.
The government, which has been given the responsibility of holding the House of Representatives elections on 21 Falgun, has been praised for making satisfactory preparations so far. Prime Minister Karki herself is in constant dialogue with the leaders of the second tier of political parties, starting from the commission. She has said that she will not be in the government after 21 Falgun and has given permission to the Election Commission to work independently to conduct the election for that.
Experts have commented that the government has done both good and bad things in the three months, but has not been able to show the highest performance according to the spirit and spirit of Gen-G. Congress Chief Whip Shyam Ghimire claimed that the government has only been able to do average work. 'This government has also failed to eliminate corruption and maintain good governance,' he said, 'Another important responsibility of the government is to hold the election on 21 Falgun.' But it has not been successful in creating the environment.' Former Chief Secretary Bimal Koirala says that the government formed on the strength of the Gen-G movement has not been able to function fully as intended. 'But it has not done anything destructive,' he responded.
‘Even though the government was formed to bring good governance and eliminate corruption, it does not seem to have been able to do so,’ Koirala said, ‘But on some agendas, it has done well. The court had to stop some.’ He commented that the government has been overshadowed by corruption as it is too focused on elections.
Political analyst and geopolitics expert Chandradev Bhatta also claimed that the government is only average. ‘The decision to recall the ambassador has become controversial. It has not been good in its diplomatic role either,’ he said, ‘At a time when the Gen-G movement has caused 5 percent of GDP loss, it does not seem to be able to attract new investors and take the old ones into confidence.’
Although the Prime Minister initially announced the formation of an 11-member cabinet, it has been expanded to 14 members after repeated expansions. The Prime Minister is also facing the question of the expertise of the appointed ministers. 'Now the government's full attention should be on creating an environment for the election. There is still doubt among the general public that the election will be held on the scheduled date,' he said. For that, he said, the return of weapons looted from the police during the protests and escaped prisoners is yet to be done to create an environment that is confident about election security.'
Government spokesperson Jagdish Kharel claims that the government is above average. He said that the government's main responsibility is to maintain good governance and that it is preparing for the election. 'Due to the government's continuous efforts, the environment for the election is being created on 21 Falgun. The election will take place,' he said.
