Kathmandu, May 11: Rastriya Prajatantra Party MP Deepak Bahadur Singh has said that the government's policies and programs prioritize the defense of the republic over development programs.

Addressing the discussion on policy and program at the meeting of the House of Representatives on Sunday, he said that the government is spending a huge amount of money on protecting this republican system rather than building development and schemes that can benefit the country.

MP Singh said that it is sad that the things to be opposed come defensively, while making policies and programs, the government should have focused on providing job opportunities to the youth and increasing financial incentives for those in the security organs, which is lacking in the policy and program.
