He stated that even though the two-thirds government of the Nepali Congress and CPN-UML can do anything, there has been no progress.
Balen said, "The Prime Minister, Home Minister, and Finance Minister are all from his own party, and even a ward committee has been elected by the Prime Minister's party. If the dispute over the land in Tinkune is not resolved now, it will never be resolved."
He claimed that the government has taken no steps regarding the long-standing dispute over compensation for the Tinkune land.
