The meeting was held at the Nepali Congress party office situated at the historical Singhdurbar in Kathmandu.
Nepali Congress leader Bimalendra Nidhi confirmed that the three parties made a decision to first table the budget bill to vote, after which the House will take forward the no confidence motion Oli-led government.
CPN Maoist Centre leader Pushpa Kamal Dahal tabled the motion with the support of 201 members of 13 parties.
Oli, who became prime minister last October heading Nepal’s eighth government in the past 10 years, has been facing a no-trust motion after the Maoists withdrew support from the coalition government last week.
The impasse was reportedly reached after PM Oli backtracked on a verbal agreement he had reached with the Maoist chief in May to hand over leadership of the government to the latter after the Parliament’s endorsing of the new budget. His proposal has been backed by the Nepali Congress, the largest party in Parliament.
