Balen Shah Government Completes 100 Days Amidst Mixed Reviews

The popular uprising that surged from the streets under the leadership of the Gen Z generation on Bhadra 23 and 24, 2082, shook the foundations of the increasingly entrenched party factionalism and (im)moral corruption in Nepali politics. Institutionalizing that strong public aspiration for good governance and transformational leadership, the Nepali people gave an unprecedented mandate of nearly two-thirds to the leadership of senior Rastriya Swatantra Party leader Balendra Shah in the elections held last February. This is the strongest popular base received by any Prime Minister since the establishment of federalism.

Riding on that powerful wave of public sentiment, the current government was formed under the leadership of Prime Minister Balendra Shah. In the very first cabinet meeting after the government's formation, an ambitious goal of accomplishing 100 tasks in 100 days was announced by approving the 100-point 'Agenda for Governance Reform'.
