Bhattarai, who arrived in Pokhara to attend the 13th general convention of Pokhara University, also ruled out the possibility of ´coup´ as reported in some media. "No one can enforce coup [in Nepal]. No one can subvert democracy," he further argued.
The prime minister also complained that the government had to face problems due to failure of the president to endorse the ordinances forwarded to him by the government.
"The practices of removing constitutional difficulties through ordinances in the absence of parliament exists everywhere," he argued.
