Addressing a programme organised at Palungtar municipality-5 in Gorkha district as part of Mid-Hill Highway Awareness Campaign his party launched recently, Chairperson Dahal underlined, "Process for the construction of Budhigandaki Hydropower Project was forwarded, ensuring sources. Around Rs 50 billion has been spent on it so far."

During his premiership, he held discussions time and again for the construction of the project. The project construction would create a positive impact on national economy- beyond prosperity of Gorkha.
