Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ has said that negative thinking and trends were dominating the Nepali society thereby shrinking individuals’ to society’s creativity as a whole.

Addressing the nation here on Tuesday to unveil his government’s achievements made in the past one year, PM Dahal asserted that negative thinking and sentiments would not yield good results.

According to him, frustration and negativity was being spread all around the Nepali society at present which was a cause for concern for him. “Negative thoughts such as ‘cannot’ ‘wont’ are killing the creativity of society,” he expressed his concern.

Dahal claimed that that a kind of element was deliberately fostering this mentality and was creating an impression that everything negative is happening in the country.

On a different note, the Head of the Government claimed that the economic condition of the country was improving, with the economic indicators proving the same.

“I am not defensive while presenting the annual report in front the public. The overall economic indicators are positive. The foreign currency reserve that had the capacity to cover only three months of import around a year ago now is the highest in the history of the nation,” the PM proudly said.

He further claimed that the public agencies that were often in loss were making profits lately. Dahal, however, admitted that the improvement in the national economy was not sufficient and satisfactory.

“Although statistics are positive, the economic growth is lower than I expected. I do not want to shrug off from taking responsibility of this by showing internal and external reasons,” he admitted.

The government, according to him, was trying to find out the reasons for not being able to achieve as expected.

Dahal shared that he had begun holding open discussions by bringing together political leaderships, civil employees as well as the private sector to find the root cause of the problem and to address them.

 He asserted, “Rapid development of the country is not possible without setting a target of double-digit economic growth, and without ensuring reforms in policy, legal and procedural aspects as well as without meticulously preparing for that.”

The PM said that his top priority would be bringing about positive changes in the government policy and enhancing administrative capacity to reduce the inflation.
