Addressing the inaugural session of the 20th establishment day and National Council meeting of Press Centre Nepal here Monday, the PM shared that preparations are ongoing to bring the new budget and policy and programmes for the upcoming fiscal year with the collaboration of all stakeholders.
Saying that the budget, and policy and programmes unveiled unilaterally did not bode well in the past, the PM shared that massive consultations will be carried out now with the civil society, politicians, people's representatives and other stakeholders to bring the budget.
PM Prachanda shared that the new budget will focus on the completion of the running projects and only then invest in the new ones.
