The Minister further argued that the government’s national mega campaign of ‘prosperous Nepal: happy Nepali’ frustrated the leaders within the NCP. He also assured the people in the district that Rupandehi would be developed as modern city with every infrastructures as roads, medical college, and tunnel way. He however said cooperation from local people was essential to materialize the ambition of developing Butwal as a city of model development.
