Kathmandu: Hinting that he could stay in power as long as he wanted, Nepal Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli said that no one could budge his government.

Speaking at the Rastriya Prajatantra Party anniversary function in the Capital yesterday, he said that he was in favour of the national consensus.

But he claimed that consensus government could not be actualised when he became the Prime Minister as the current opposition Nepali Congress insisted on the active role of the opposition.

"We are always in favour of the national consensus. But, we all need to understand that no national consensus was possible without agreement among major three political parties," the Himalayan Times quoted him as saying.

Oli expressed his confidence that his Communist Party of Nepal- Unified Marxist-Leninist (CPN-UML), would garner majority seats in the federal Parliament from the elections to be held by the end of 2017 and then the course of coalition government would end.

Communist Party of Nepal- Maoist Centre Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal speaking at the same function said the nation needed national consensus to deal with the contemporary political problems.

"It is important if the national consensus can be forged, if the Constitution can be implemented and if the Madhes issues can be addressed."

He also announced that he would be ready to take charge of the government if there was the national consensus.
