The government is working to ensure social service and direct relief to the people, he added. Likewise, the government took action in the fake Bhutanese refugee scam since it was anti-national and an organised crime, the PM shared. "The government took this step to clean the dirt," he mentioned and added that the trend of crime committed to transfer public land in the name of individuals is coming to an end from the probe into the Lalita Niwas land scam. This is not an issue just from Lalita Niwas but is linked to the campaign for the economic prosperity of the country through new land policy by ending the 'mafia regime' across the country, Prime Minister Dahal mentioned. Saying that an individual could not end all the heaps of ill practices amassed in the country, the PM called for support from all Nepalis to end such wrongdoings and ill practices. On the occasion, the prime minister stated that the relevance of the latest political transformation will be justified only if people's livelihood is improved.

Furthermore, PM Dahal said that he was firm to do something for the country and its people during his tenure and added that he has been working to transform the country's status based on the same determination. "The party, ideology and leader who fought to bring about changes has more concerns. Whether this transformation bodes well for people or not is my determination while taking responsibility as a prime minister this time," Dahal added. "So, to safeguard the country and people from the accident, important steps have been taken in the capacity of the government's leadership this time," he stated.
