Communist Party Leader Khagraj Bhatta Criticizes Government's Inability to Pass Budget, Demands Resignation

Kathmandu. Far-Western Nepali Communist Party's parliamentary party leader Khagraj Bhatta has stated that a government that cannot pass the budget it introduced does not have the right to make decisions of long-term significance. Bhatta suggested Chief Minister Kamal Bahadur Shah resign immediately as the government has failed.

'You could not pass the budget you introduced. The failed Chief Minister must resign from the post immediately. The party meeting has decided not to make any long-term leadership decisions,' Bhatta told Rato Pati.

After the Congress-UML alliance broke, the CPN parliamentary party meeting held in Dhangadhi on Thursday decided to form a government under its own leadership. A committee has been formed under the leadership of party leader Bhatta to hold talks with the parties in the Provincial Assembly. The committee includes Deputy Leader Prakash Rawal, Chief Whip Khushiram Chaudhary, and MPs Manbahadur Dhami and Ramesh Dhami.
