KATHMANDU, May 31: Former Finance Minister and CPN-UML lawmaker Bishnu Prasad Poudel has said that the budget presented by the government for the upcoming fiscal year has created a financial burden that the country cannot afford to bear.
Speaking in the discussion on the annual estimates of revenue and expenditure for the fiscal year 2022/23 in the House of Representatives meeting on Tuesday, Poudel said that the current government has created a lot of financial obligations for the country by presenting its full-time budget.
