Reasons for CA failure

I think the major political parties including Madhes based parties should have now realised that to forcefully install the concept of federalism in Nepal was one of the main reasons behind complete failure of the erstwhile CA that had to be ended without drafting the new constitution. It did not seem feasible by any means to be instituted in such a small and poverty ridden country.

Was it necessary to follow the same suit of one party by the others in the name of new Nepal where multi-cultural, multi-religion and multi-racial groups of people used to harmoniously live for decades? Accordingly, was it necessary for NC to spend its valuable time on such an impracticable issue as reported in the news report “NC polishing its policy on federal model” (THT, 11 July, Page1) rather than fruitfully spending its time on resolving other political problems?

The current leaderships in NC have completely deviated from the BP Koirala led political philosophy and have been flowing with other parties’ political agenda. As a result, it is loosing its popularity and trust among its voters and may further erode if it continues to join hands with other leftist parties in their political manifestations. It should have learned the lessons from the erstwhile CA election as to why it was defeated.

2083/84 budget at a glance

2083/84 budget at a glance The Balen led government , which is almost two-thirds majority government secured in the March 2026 elections , has announced its annual budget 2,124.34 billion on May 29, 2026, as the largest budget in Nepal's history, representing a 25.2 present increase over the revised estimates of the current fiscal year 2082/83.

Huge tax reforms , massive infrastructure allocations, transformative sectoral policies, 7 percent targets on economic growth and inflation capped at 6 per cent are the key aspects of the highly optimistic budget.
