KATHMANDU: The main opposition party in Nepal has termed the government’s white paper on the country’s economy which blamed the previous regime for current dismal shape — as “fabricated” and “misleading”.
In the white paper released recently, Finance Minister Yuvaraj Khatiwada claimed that Nepal’s economy was in a “dismal shape” and its coffers “almost empty”, for which he blamed the previous government led by the Nepali Congress.
“The governments formed after the 2006 people’s movement in the country were mostly headed by leftists,” Deuba said at a programme here, adding the leftist governments in the past were responsible for pushing the nation’s economy towards deterioration.
Another NC leader, Prakash Man Singh said his party did not “spoil” the country’s economy as highlighted in the white paper. He said, “Don’t delude the public with misleading and baseless information about the Nepal’s economy.”
