Dahal’s hubris, inflation and misgovernance

Nepal’s remittance quickly travels back overseas due to our failure to utilise it in the productive sector.

Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal, in his recent address to the country, acknowledged his government’s failure to meet public expectations and pledged not to repeat the mistake. However, history doesn’t corroborate his claims. He said the same thing during his first stint as prime minister in 2008, again in 2016, once more in 2022 and then reiterated the same recently. Be it in the past or the present, he has failed to deliver on economic agendas and maintain transparency in governance.
