Some friendly countries have promised financial support.'

Main parts of Prime Minister Sushila Karki's speech at the meeting with the Chief Ministers of the seven provinces
We are not political leaders. The situation brought us here. Before Bhadra 23, we did not even expect this situation to come. When we were locked up in a house in Baneshwor that day, it was as if we ourselves were displaced.
The initial part of the Genjis was to control corruption, maintain good governance, and lift the ban on social media. Now many Genjis have appeared. Many demands have started coming.
Some Genjis come here and talk loudly. Some are fine inside, and go outside and speak arbitrarily. No matter what, they are all our children. They are learning. Some even speak very maturely. They know more than us.
The country is ours. We have to improve it, we have to build it. If we do not improve it, no one will improve it. So let's solve whatever problems there are together.
Some things may be up and down when we write or speak. But our intentions are not bad. There is no reason for anyone to have doubts. We will move forward in cooperation with you. We will work within the parameters given by the constitution. The structures created by the constitution must be respected.
An elected government is needed for stability. Elections and political parties complement each other. This system cannot work without political parties. That is why people known as independent experts are also opening parties to contest elections. We have asked the genjis to open parties and participate in the elections and get their agenda approved by the people.
Some have strayed, some are radical. They should understand the sensitivity of this time and the limits of the interim government.
Our main priority is to create an environment for elections. All the necessary equipment is being arranged for the security forces. The process of purchasing urgently needed vehicles for the police has already progressed. Neighboring countries are also providing vehicles. Some friendly countries have promised financial support.
90 percent of the police structures damaged in the protests have been rebuilt by the local people. This has helped to boost the morale of the police and strengthen their relationship with the people. This is very meaningful and also exemplary for the world.
The elections were held even in much more adverse conditions than now. The genjis themselves have said that elections should be held and can be held in the current situation. It has been felt that the dialogue with the parties has created an environment more in favor of elections.
More than 90 percent of the 120 types of materials required by the Election Commission are available. The rest is being managed. The Commission has also given full confidence that the elections can be held on the scheduled date.
Looted and lost weapons are being found. The locations of the weapons that are yet to be recovered have also been identified. Escaped prisoners are also returning. Therefore, we can be sure that a safe environment will be created. The provinces should also play a role in this work, and the local government should also join hands. We will move forward in coordination with all three levels of government. We are holding further discussions with local government representatives.
