Government is not there to manage their business," he said while speaking at a programme organised by Management Association of Nepal (MAN) to offer suggestions for the budget of the next fiscal year 2022/23.

One promises to live a righteous path and leaves with a lighter heart. Sadly, the moment the person steps out of the shrine, all is forgotten.
