CPN-UML lawmaker Yogesh Bhattarai expressed his serious objection to the role of an unauthorized person in the budget formulation process.

Speaking at the meeting of the House of Representatives on Monday, he expressed his dissatisfaction for using an unauthorized person by Finance Minister Janardan Sharma in the formulation of the budget for the next fiscal year.

He demanded the resignation of Minister Sharma.

"The Finance Minister has come into controversy. Hence, he should resign immediately," the former Tourism Minister said.

He demanded the resignation of the Finance Minister in the Parliament after the news came in the media that he had taken a former non-gazetted officer to the Ministry and changed the tax rate on May 28, the day before the budget was presented in the Parliament.
