Kathmandu. CPN (Maoist Centre) General Secretary Dev Gurung has said that the budget for the upcoming fiscal year brought by the government is status quoist. General Secretary Gurung made the remarks while speaking at a programme in Kathmandu on Friday.
He said that the government has made the size of the budget very large even though the revenue collection is low. Stating that revenue collection is low and leakage is high, he said that the revenue could not even meet the current expenditure.
“The budget has not come as a forward-looking budget. The budget is in a status quo ist budget. Revenue has not been collected as much as it should have in terms of resources. And the size of the budget has come in a very large size. Revenue collection is very low. There is a problem of revenue leakage. There is a problem of irregularities. As a result, the revenue is not being collected as much as it should. The revenue cannot afford even the normal current expenses. Therefore, other expenses will also have to be borne by the loan. ’
General Secretary Gurung alleged that Nepal’s power was still under the control of monopoly crony capitalism. He alleged that after the end of the monarchy, crony capitalism came as the main trend. He also said that world imperialism wants conflict and not stability in countries like Nepal.
He also claimed that world imperialism wanted to make Nepal a playground of war and expressed concern over the failure to conclude transitional justice (TRC) even for a long time. He argued that the problem of TRC has not yet been solved due to the dominance of crony capitalists.
“Will the problems regarding transitional justice (TRC) be resolved in the country now or not? That’s the question. Even after 17 or 18 years, this problem has not been solved. After the overthrow of the monarchy, monopoly capitalism has been the main dominance in the context of Nepal. Monopoly crony capitalism is an institution of agencies run by commission system and corruption. ‘
“An organization associated with multinational companies and associated with global power is an organization of agencies. Because it is an institution associated with global power, Marxists have also called the present era the age of imperialism. Its connection is linked to imperialism. At present, there is no need for peace in countries including Nepal rather than what world imperialism wants. We don’t want stability and we don’t want stability. There is conflict and war. They want to make it a playground for war,” he said.
He also accused the present government of promoting corruption.
