Prime Minister (PM) Sher Bahadur Deuba on Sunday has said he is ready to quit the government if his successor were decided. Inaugurating Makar Mela, a fair to mark Makar Sankranti, in Godavari of Kailali, PM Deuba pointed that no single party has won the majority in the parliament and argued that he cannot leave the government as the two parties in the left alliance have yet to unanimously decide who the next PM will be. He claimed he has been remaining in the government as quitting it now will create constitutional vacuum. "The House of Representatives (HoR) has yet to be completed on one hand while who the next PM will be has also not been decided. Who should I leave it to?" he questioned. He argued that to accuse him of not leaving the government is wrong. He is scheduled to return to Kathmandu Sunday itself.
