KATHMANDU: Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli said speculations about the government change are mere rumours.

"Talks about the change of government are rumours," Oli said while addressing a seminar organised by the Ministry of Land Reform and Management.

Oli, meanwhile, also hinted that the government, which is already jumbo with 41 members, might rather expand.

In a tweet this afternoon, Oli said the government would not change immediately, but expand.

हल्लै हल्लाले हल्लिने र त्यसैका पछि कुद्ने बानी परेको छ कतिपयलाई,सरकार परिवर्तनको हल्ला खुब चलेको छ तर, सरकार परिवर्तन होइन विस्तार हुँदैछ ।
