Organising a press conference today, Gurung claimed that during his term, the province government was made the best and the province assembly most effective. The aspirations of people here have been addressed well.
"The achievements we made despite limited resources and budget are exemplary. These are the milestones of federalism," he mentioned, featuring the achievements as initiation of province pride projects such as Korala-Tribedi corridor, province administrative building, Province Assembly building, and Gandaki province training institute.
Similarly, other works initiated during his term were Ujjyalo Gandaki Province, province teaching hospital, provincial industrial estate, upgradation of Prithvi Highway and Siddhartha Highway.

Gurung, however, said it was normal to hold power and stay out of power in democracy.
