"It's good that the two large parties are working together, but the opposition also needs to be equally strong in democracy," he added.
Acknowledging that although federalism has been implemented, the political parties have not been able to make the people understand federalism, leader Koirala argued that the federal government should allocate budget taking the provinces into consideration while making the budgetary allocations.
Noting that the overall development of the country is possible only through decentralization, he said all political parties should act accordingly while internalizing this fact.
Responding to a question by journalists, leader Koirala expressed the confidence that Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal will step down after addressing parliament.
