Communist Party MP Hamal Criticizes Government Policy Program for Lack of Vision

Kathmandu. Nepali Communist Party MP Parmesh Kumar Hamal has said that the government's policy and program for the upcoming fiscal year lacks a clear vision.

Participating in the discussion on the policy and program in the House of Representatives on Thursday, he commented that the government's program does not align with the slogan 'Now the situation has changed after the system has changed' raised by the chairman of the ruling party.

MP Hamal said that although he took the concept of transforming public life put forward by the chairman of the ruling party, Rastriya Swatantra Party, Ravi Lamichhane, positively, upon studying the points of the policy and program, he felt that the government had moved away from its own leadership's public commitment.

He argued that the policy and program cannot be effective without an ideological perspective. He stated that the meaning of changing the situation is to improve the living standards of the people, bring about socio-economic transformation, and bring concrete programs in favor of the oppressed, the poor, and citizens seeking justice.

Criticizing the government, he said, 'I have tried to see how consistent the government's policy and program are with the expression of the chairman of the ruling party. He had said, elders changed the system, now we have to change the situation of the country. I found those words pleasing to my ears. I thought perhaps it would be like that, and the same thing would be reflected in the policy and program, but while examining the points of the policy and program, where has the government gone astray? How far has the government deviated from its own chairman's expression? I am surprised.'

MP Hamal claimed that these issues were not effectively addressed in points 1 to 100 of the policy and program. Stating that a policy and program without vision cannot change the living standards of the people, he emphasized that there should be programs in favor of those in need and oppression.

He said, 'I looked at points 1 to 100, but these points are not prepared to address those issues. There is a clear lack of vision in this policy and program. Transformation and change are not possible with a policy and program that is unclear and lacks vision.'

He described the policy and program as an unclear document and commented that the change expected by the people could not be achieved through it.
