Dragon Media Correspondent
Rastriya Swatantra Party lawmaker Bharat Parajuli has expressed concern over criticism of Prime Minister Balendra Shah, saying the prime minister has been working tirelessly with the aim of transforming the country.
Speaking in the House of Representatives on Tuesday, Parajuli urged lawmakers and the public to support what he described as the government’s positive initiatives.
The remarks come amid growing criticism over shortages of cooking gas and fertiliser, as well as questions raised by both opposition and ruling-party lawmakers over the performance and working style of government ministers.
Parajuli argued that Prime Minister Shah and members of his Cabinet have been actively trying to understand and address problems faced by the public.
“The prime minister has been working day and night with the commitment to change the face of the country, yet he continues to face criticism,” Parajuli said.
He also defended Infrastructure Minister Sunil Lamsal, who has been travelling to different parts of the country to assess the condition of roads and other infrastructure.
“Minister Sunil Lamsal has been travelling from village to village, even driving himself, to see the actual condition of roads across the country, and that too has been criticised. He has gone to understand people’s problems, not to cut ribbons,” Parajuli said.
He called for cooperation with the government on initiatives that produce positive results, while adding that shortcomings could be addressed through constructive suggestions.
On Monday, lawmakers from the ruling side had themselves questioned whether ministers were spending too much time travelling around the country instead of concentrating on policy formulation and work within their ministries.
Parajuli’s remarks came as the government faces increased scrutiny over its effectiveness in addressing issues directly affecting daily life, including shortages of cooking gas and fertiliser.
