Swarnim Wagle: Policy Program Lacks Substance, Upholds Ritual

Says the Plan Lacks Usefulness, Follows Tradition

RSP lawmaker Swarnim Wagle speaks at the House of Representatives on Tuesday, expressing concerns over the relevance and effectiveness of the government's annual policy and program.

Kathmandu: Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) lawmaker Swarnim Wagle remarked that the government’s policy and program for this year focuses more on tradition than usefulness.

Speaking in the House of Representatives on Tuesday, Wagle said he has been hearing similar policy outlines for the past 12 years. “This is something I’ve been listening to for over a decade. It’s limited to rituals,” he said.

Calls for Breaking the Routine

Wagle argued that unless there’s a break from tradition, the policy program will continue to lack relevance. He recalled his initial reaction to this year’s plan: “An exhausted government has presented an old, uninspired agenda.”

No Innovation in the Agenda

According to him, the underlying cause of this issue lies in the inability to innovate. “Even when you examine it closely, there is no real value in the policy and program,” Wagle concluded.
