This coalition was constituted to prevent the then prime minister from seizing people's rights. Though Nepali Congress is the largest political party, the current government was formed to convert adversities into favourable situation, Khadka said while addressing a conference of the party's Constituency-3 of NC here today.

On the occasion, DPM Khadka, who is also the NC Vice-president, said that the NC's candidates have won the presidential election and chief ministerial post in four provinces due to the NC-Maoist Centre alliance.

Khadka added that the achievements made after NC's participation in the government should be reviewed and weaknesses should be mended, if any.

Likewise, he said that the government has prioritised the issue of Federal Acts and would be taken to the Federal Parliament in the ongoing House Session. Those Acts include Federal Education Act, Federal Civil Service Act and Federal Police Adjustment Act.
