KATHMANDU, June 1: Member of the House of Representatives Shakti Bahadur Basnet has urged the opposition not to make the budget a race for taking undue credit.

Speaking at Wednesday’s House of Representatives discussion on the budget for the coming fiscal year 2022/23, he said that the nation’s annual budget should not be made a race of taking undue credit.

He said that the discussion on the purpose of each point of the budget presented by the finance minister would not take us anywhere. Basnet, a member of the ruling CPN (Maoist Center), also clarified that there was no point in discussing it as a populist budget.
