JUST DO IT

Some leaders from the opposition deserve an applause for their seriousness towards drafting the constitution whose deadline is around the corner (“Not the time for stir, Shrestha tells Dahal” 24 Dec. Page 03). Narayan Kaji Shrestha seems to be working hard to convince UCPN (Maoist) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal not to deviate from constitution drafting process. It is high time senior leaders of all the major parties completed the constitution in time rather than engaging in destructive politics.



The country has suffered a lot due to the destructive politics and blame game played among irresponsible political leaders. If they do not realize this on time and act sensibly, they will lose all faith of the people. So the so-called senior leaders must engage in work to seriously complete the new constitution. Otherwise, it might be too late to correct their blunders. So, it is good news that Narayan Kaji has warned Dahal not to launch street protests.



If the 19 party alliances pursue their plan to launch street protest, it could be politically counterproductive for them. This is because people want a new constitution by the stipulated time. So, the possibility of going for voting to promulgate the constitution should not be ruled out if political parties fail to reach consensus. However, it would be much better if parties put more effort to forge consensus and draft the constitution acceptable to people of all walks of life.

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.  Most of the financial experts and economic analysts opine that this budget, although optimistic, has broadly, boldly and wisely covered key and major aspects of the national all round development. 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.
