Janakpurdham, February 19

Province 2 Chief Minister Lalbabu Raut today complained that non-cooperation from the bureaucracy had hindered his government’ work.

CM Raut charged that though some employees were good, a majority of them were not sincere in carrying out their duties. “Employees deployed to Province 2 are dishonest and have faced the music for not performing their duty in the past,” he added.

Speaking at a programme organised to mark the 59th anniversary of Rastriya Samachar Samiti in Janakpurdahm, Raut held that Province 2 government had spent more budget than the federal government.

He acknowledged that province government had failed to work as per people’s needs and aspiration, but blamed it on lack of cooperation from the federal government. He urged the central government to send employees as per the need of the province government.

CM Raut said the media had played a great role in establishing federalism and republicanism in the nation. He urged journalists to report news and air views in a factual and objective manner.
