Speaking at a programme organised on the occasion of Global Bank’s merger with IME Financial Institution and Lord Buddha Finance, Bhattarai said the political parties have been moving ahead despite differences. Saying that budget will be announced forging consensus with all the political parties, PM Bhattarai said positive news will come within few days. Posted on:  2012-07-09 12:26
