My govt will complete its term: Nepal PM

Amid political uncertainty in Nepal, Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli today said that his government will complete its term and only the results of the next elections can determine its fate.
"We will not remain in the power forever as the current Legislature-Parliament will automatically dissolve on January 21, 2018," he said, addressing an event organised by Ministry of General Administration and Nepal Administrative Training Academy at Dhulikhel a hill resort, east of Kathmandu.
"This government will conduct elections and country will witness government change based on the results of election," he said, adding that only the results of the next elections can determine the fate of the current government.

He proposed the local body elections in December under his premiership.
Oli also said the federalism has become a heavy burden for Nepal. He said federalism should be implemented on the basis of country's social and geographical peculiarities.
Stating that there was no point in adopting federalism if the people failed to get effective services and facilities, he asked the bureaucrats to give up old and narrow mindsets.

Only the federal structure that can ensure development, growth of infrastructures, industrialization, modernisation and good governance will sustain, he added.
Meanwhile, UCPN-Maoist Centre chairman Prachanda claimed that the next government would be formed soon after the new budget is endorsed by the Parliament.

According to media reports, the Maoists and the CPN-UML had reached a gentlemen's agreement last month in this regard.
Prime Minister Oli, however, refuted the rumors that the Parliament would be dissolved.
The politburo meeting of the CPN-Maoist Centre today decided to form a consensus government to resolve the current problems facing the nation.
According to a press release issued by the party, the Maoist party decided to take the initiative to form a national consensus government to complete the remaining tasks of the peace process, expedite the reconstruction works, address the demands of agitating Madhesi, Janajati and Tharu groups.

Senior CPN-MC leader Narayan Kaji Shrestha said the party reached the conclusion that national consensus government was the need of hour and it would make efforts for the same.
He said the government has done very little to implement the nine-point agreement reached between his party and the CPN-UML led by Prime Minister Oli.
