Deuba calls new budget misuse of state coffers
Nepali Congress President and former prime minister Sher Bahadur Deuba on Sunday said the budget announcement for the fiscal year 2016-17 was introduced with an intention to misuse the state coffers.
Pokhara (Nepal) : Nepali Congress President and former prime minister Sher Bahadur Deuba on Sunday said the budget announcement for the fiscal year 2016-17 was introduced with an intention to misuse the state coffers.
"The money that the Congress had collected from foreign donors is being used for their cadres," the Himalayan Times quoted him as saying.
"Which nation do you think will believe in communists? Foreigners had trusted the Congress and provided money for earthquake survivors," he said.
Deuba urged his party cadres to stay alert against misuse of state funds.
"This budget may yield some temporary popularity to the government. But economists say it is not appropriate for sustainable development," he said.
He also accused the government led by the Communist Party of Nepal -Unified Marxist-Leninist (CPN-UML) chairman K.P. Sharma Oli of not willing to hold local elections.
Deuba said that he would work to end all forms of factionalism in the party.
"My last wish is to make the party one as the president. Now, the factional politics has ended in the party," he added.
