Prime Minster Deuba In New Delhi

Kathmandu: The pictures on the facebook Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba posted show that Indian Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj welcomed him at the Delhi airport today, and the text said that Prime Minister Deuba thanked the Indian Foreign Minister Swaraj. Sher Bahadur Deuba wrote, “I am delighted to be in New Delhi. Thank you Sushma Swaraj, Minister of External Affair of India, for your warm welcome in Delhi airport.”
On the eve of his India visit, Prime Minister Deuba appointed 15 Ministers of State. Of them 12 are of the NC, and three are of Nepal Loktantrika Forum, making the total number of ministers in the cabinet including the prime minister 46.
Prime Minister Deuba has been the master of jumbo cabinet. It won’t be a surprise if he would increase the number of minister beyond 50 after his return from India. Surely, he has to keep everybody happy making as many political cadres as possible ministers and let them enjoy the perks of being ministers and make money while in the warm sunshine.
Assuming office space is not available for all those new and junior ministers, these ministers could work from the tents during the monsoon, and even without tents during the winter sunny days, as they could keep their back on the sun and warm, too. No matter where they work they would make a lot of money at the cost of the nation.
Prime Minister Deuba has done a great job appointing Bimlendra Nidhi to the acting NC president in his absence irritating his archrival Ramchandra Poudel.
Prime Minister Deuba has good news for Foreign Minister Swaraj and Prime Minister Narendra Modi that the Nepal parliament did not pass the Bill on Constitution Amendment; however, the Rastriya Janata Party-Nepal guys are willing to participate in the third-phase elections to be held in the province number two on September 18, 2017.
If Prime Minister Deuba were to be bold enough he could raised the issues of the floods caused in Nepal due to so many dams built along the border between Nepal and India without informing Nepal not to mention consulting; in addition, Indian officials need to be held accountable to not opening the Koshi dam in time to release water causing tremendous floods in Nepal.
Prime Minister Deuba also needs to stand firm in Nepal taking a neutral position on the face-off between China and India at Doklam: border between Bhutan and China, where China has been building a road, and Indian army went to stop the Chinese construction of roads even without informing Bhutan embarrassing the Bhutanese administration.
