KATHMANDU, April 10: The main opposition party Nepali Congress (NC) has cautioned the government against transferring budgets from one title to another just to serve the interest of the ruling parties.
NC has also alleged that the government has been distributing the budget to the CPN-UML parliamentarians unnecessarily.

Issuing a press statement on Sunday NC Whip Ishwori Neupane warned the government to immediately stop the misuse of budget and maintain financial discipline.
"NC parliamentary party wants that such activities be stopped immediately and financial discipline be maintained," reads the statement. The new constitution has made it mandatory for the government to unveil the budget for a new fiscal year by mid-May.
Earlier governments have also faced criticisms for transferring budget from one title or one ministry to another to serve the vested interest of the ruling parties.
