Key Points
- The Rastriya Swatantra Party government led by Prime Minister Balendra Shaha completed 100 days in office, claiming to have fulfilled 87% of its 100-point programme.
- The government’s 100-point promise was considered overly ambitious, with critiques suggesting a more focused and measured approach would have been better.
- Positive actions included immediate vehicle license issuance and home delivery of passports, but these were overshadowed by errors like the erroneous 12-grade exam results and market price inflation.
