He added that opposition parties would have to wait for the next election if they wished to mould these to their own liking. He insisted that the government was moving forward in accordance with the language, style, philosophy, and substance approved by the people.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The language, style, philosophy, substance\u2014whatever has been presented here\u2014is exactly that which has been endorsed by the people. Before contesting the election, we had set out one hundred foundations for transformation in our manifesto. If one accepts that the people endorsed precisely that, then the one hundred governance reform roadmaps that have been brought forward on that very basis constitute our policies and programmes, and the principles and priorities of this appropriation bill. Now, if you wish to get your own language and your own documents endorsed, you will have to wait for the next election,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/eng.dragonmedia.com.np\/?p=17183\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"time\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kathmandu.
