Clarifying that he would not step down from his post, Nepal Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has said his nature doesn't permit him to do so, adding that some forces were threatening and exerting pressure on him to quit.
Addressing a two-day public dialogue programme organised on Thursday, Oli said that he did not have any excessive desire to remain on the chair and that if he got concrete remedies and roadmap to resolve all the current problems then he wouldn't have any desire to stick to the post, reports Kathmandu Post.
Recalling that he was elected to the post during a tough time when the country was facing post quake trauma, border blockade and Tarai agitation, Oli said that he made his best efforts to overcome these problems and gradually acquired success towards the end.
The prime minister added that holding any post was just temporary therefore performing on behalf of the nation and people will have permanent meanings.
Indicating the protest launched by Tarai-centric parties, Oli called on the agitating parties not to perform circus in the name of protest and urged them to come for dialogue if they have any genuine issues to be resolved.
He also claimed that the Tarai protest has calmed down and deadlock with India has ended.
He clarified that his party did not have agreement to hand over the government to ruling coalition Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist Centre.
He termed the previous governments as the scarecrow while claiming that they failed to invest on social welfare sector.
