Indicating the recent feud within the ruling Nepal Communist Party, PM Oli further said, “I am in this position not through any machination but with massive public support.”

He urged all not to be worried but continue works. He however said conspiracies were hatched to topple the government. There is trend of making negative criticism in every step, the PM made aware, adding all not be swayed by such attitude.

“We work for stability in the country,” he asserted.
