Following mounting concern from public and various government units regarding actuate rupee crisis in the nation, Prime Minister Jigmi Y Thinley addressed the nation Friday. However, he didn’t present the government’s position on stabilizing the rupee crisis.
PM Thinley, who has been accused by the Opposition Leader and other MPs of remaining silent over the issue, asked citizens to bring change in the way people spend.
He told that the people should change their economic habits and consumption patterns to achieve economic self-reliance.
In a televised address to the nation, the PM said, “Our expenditure has been increasing rapidly to an extent, where the government revenue can’t catch up with it.”
He further explained that the hydropower export revenue was Rs 5.8B last year after deducting for loans. Fuel imports alone are Nu 5.1B leaving us with only a net revenue of Nu 7M. It is high time we change our economic habits, according to his statement.
Prime Minister Thinley also mentioned that Bhutan has been importing around Nu 490M worth of meat a year, Nu 160M worth of fish, Nu 286M worth of vegetables and alcohol import is Nu 314M annually.
Royal government had imposed One Nation One People policy, Green belt Policy (In-fact it was Southern Belt Policy), to evict the southern Bhutanese and those who dare to stand against these policies. This Government had already experimented No meat month, and No tobacco zone before. Royal Government of Bhutan was successful as there is no free media and freedom in reality. Let’s read Prime minister’s statement ones more “He told that the people should change their economic habits and consumption patterns to achieve economic self-reliance”. Fellow friends in Bhutan, Be prepare to start Barter system of trade rather then modern commercial one. Be ready to run up- and down hills bare foot rather then driving vehicles or using public transportation. Highlanders increase numbers of Yaks, Mules Horse and other beast of burdens. Govt. may soon ban vachiles for private use. Valley dwellers, increase your agricultural products mostly vegetables, milk and milk product, time will favour you. Ganpas, (Elderly Ones Follow Ghandhi. Start Charkha it looks govt has plan for you to make your living by yourself at home. Farming countrymen take rest and minimize you input to grow more rice and corns. Because there is very high possibility that government shall impose One Meal a Day policy and, shamelessly tell the world that this is another paradigm of GNH based Development.

Hi Fake Killer
I have quoted the lines from Kuensel (English edition). Reads the lines in between. What is your education? Shimtokha dzong based degree? Can you tell me rough numbers of population that know the language you are talking about? Don’t ask us tha we interpreted wrongly. Rather ask your journalists, if they have presented wrongly? Can you please think other ways? How about if intellectuals say that, yours journalists need translation skill as of your expression. Were you consulted by PM Thinley and have shared his intention before addressing nation?. Please let you know that I stand by my opinion, as I have developed thru reading the lines.
I know what he used to say and what he is saying too. He is my Dumbas PM ever. He spends millions to visit New York and host those non sense conference, which he never explain while talking about rupee crises. He sucks our country!!!
No offense to any one! Just my opinion. But, for sure we need to elect him next year too!

My PM is one of the jack ash in this earth. He is visiting New York and organizing non sense conference, while many of our country are dying in pain with out pain medication. He never told our puplic, that he is one of the cause of rupee cruch in our country.
No offence!!

@ KUBIR..why did you copy from Kuensel, hehehhe… aren’t you ashamed to plagiarize another country’s news? arent you educated people?
By the way i have doctorate in humanitarian from oxford university..

fake-killer, your commenting attitude clearly reflect you are doctorate or dog-treated. You poppet of Jigme Singye are still creating confusion around here. Better stop, other wise, United Revolutionary Front of Bhutan will soon give you a hard time.
Be safe my dear!
