Congress MP Sandip Rana Criticizes Finance Minister's Budget for Neglecting Rural Citizens

Kathmandu. Nepali Congress MP Sandip Rana has commented that although Finance Minister Dr. Swarnim Wagle claims to follow BP Koirala as an ideal, he has forgotten the citizens of remote villages while preparing the budget in practice.

Participating in the theoretical discussion on the budget in the House of Representatives meeting on Thursday, he made such an accusation. He said that the Finance Minister has completely forgotten BP's main principle of keeping in mind the citizens living in the huts of remote villages while making the blueprint for development in the budget. He stated that the budget brought by the government is impractical, non-inclusive, and insensitive to rural life.
