Congress MP Sandeep Rana has commented that Finance Minister Swarnim Wagle considers BP Koirala as a role model, but this is not reflected in the budget.
In the House of Representatives meeting held on Thursday, MP Rana accused the Finance Minister of forgetting the citizens of remote villages while formulating the budget.
He said that the Finance Minister has forgotten BP's statement that the development blueprint should be made keeping in mind the citizens living in the huts of remote villages while formulating the budget.
'The budget presented by the Honorable Finance Minister, a renowned economist who considers the great man BP Koirala as a role model and who started the budget speech with the name of Suvarna Shamsher, has forgotten BP's statement that the development blueprint should be made keeping in mind the citizens living in the huts of remote villages while formulating the budget,' he said.
He said that it is not practical to achieve 7 percent economic growth and limit inflation within 6 percent with a budget of Rs 2 trillion more than the limit set by the National Planning Commission.
He said that the budget has not been able to cover the lower classes, farmers, youth, women and marginalized groups. 'This budget has not covered the large sections of the country like the lower classes below 20 percent and the 20 percent unorganized class.' The agriculture sector, which contributes 24 percent of GDP and 60 percent of employment, has been neglected,' he said.
He stressed that the state should collect taxes without putting unnecessary burden on the people and invest them in development. Stating that there should be high taxes on luxury items and concessions on basic necessities, he accused the budget of adding additional tax burden on education, health, dairy products and electricity sectors.
