KATHMANDU: The CPN-UML Chief Whip, Mahesh Bartaula, asserted that the country will advance under the leadership of Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’.

Speaking to journalists outside the Parliament building on Sunday, Bartaula dismissed claims that ministers within the government are disregarding the Prime Minister.

He emphasized that the Prime Minister is currently in a strong position and that it is the responsibility of the political parties in the government to reinforce his leadership.

“This government will last for five years. No one can dismantle it. The country will progress under the command of the Prime Minister. He is strong, and it is our duty as the parties in the government to support him. The government is moving forward with good work,” he stated.

Bartaula also claimed that the government’s effective performance has unsettled the main opposition party Nepali Congress.
