Deuba accuses Oli of misusing state funds

Former prime minister and Nepali Congress president Sher Bahadur Deuba has blamed Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli of ignoring the implementation of the new constitution and misusing the state coffers.

Speaking at a function organized in Kathmandu on Wednesday, Deuba said Oli had totally ignored the implementation of the constitution although it has been eight months since the promulgation of the new statute.

Instead of getting down to serious business of implementation of the constitution, Oli has been giving fake assurances of distributing pipeline of cooking gas to every household and running railways and ship, alleged Deuba.

Deuba also blamed Oli of misusing state funds as if they belonged to his party.

"After being unable to mobilize the funds donated by the donors, Oli has started misusing those funds with the help of NGOs close to his party in the name of rebuilding the earthquake-ravaged structures," said Deuba.

He also reiterated that Nepali Congress would not let Oli succeed in misusing funds from state coffers at any cost and would take any steps to foil the ill intentions of the prime minister.

During the function, which was organized to felicitate three members of a family from Sankhwasabha who scaled Mount Everest, NC leader Ram Chandra Poudel also accused Oli of jeopardizing the constitution.
