He neither can walk nor can speak. He has got the upbringing from the  religious and financially strong family. But the interesting fact is that the Nepalese Politicians are very much attracted towards him. They are not being able to do anythinng prosperous for country. However, they  had already contibuted the amount of  NRP 60 Lakhs for the treatment of  Adityaa Dahal. Recently, they had donated  1 crore for him in his fund. We appreciate the  talent and the supernatural power of Aditya Dahal but it does not mean he should get such a big amont from National Income. Many Of the Nepalese are dying of hunger and thrist. Furthermore, the goverment is not able to contribute for earthquake victims. Nepal is highly affected from nepotism and favouritism factors.

Watch Video  to know more about the  Adityaa Dahal who has recently got 1 crore from the goverment.

Neither an inevitable death nor a bed-ridden physical state seems to able to keep a genuine politician from being active in politics until the last breath. Nepali Congress president and former prime minister Sushil Koirala, who died at his residence in Kathmandu at the age of 79 early Tuesday, watched the news on television and shared his political concerns about the world and Nepal with his aides as he fought with pneumonia and asthma in a losing battle. Koirala had demonstrated the will needed to beat his lung cancer. Now, sharing his last words with his personal assistant and private doctor, he gave up: "I got it." In the old and new media, the world remembered Koirala for his simple outlook and sheer political determination to work for the nation and people. The party halted its ongoing 13th convention programmes to elect its new leadership. The 12th convention had elected Koirala, who earlier served in the posts of party's general secretary and central leader, as the NC chief.

A downright politician, Sushil Koirala stood out among Nepal's prime ministers for making a promise and keeping it. Koirala's election plank during the Constituent Assembly (CA) election of 2013 was promulgating the post-monarchy Nepal's first constitution in a year. His promise earned him voters, and he was elected to the CA from a constituency each of Banke and Chitwan. As the chief of the largest party in the CA and parliament, Koirala then became the prime minister of a coalition government and helped the CA cobble together the new constitution and issue it before it would be too late. The first CA, elected in 2008 with the main mandate to give the peace process a logical conclusion by promulgating the new constitution of Nepal, had failed to fulfill its mandate despite extending its own tenure for four years.

In Koirala's death, the nation has lost a true democrat from the breed of Nepali politicians who had participated in the country's democratic movement to oust the Rana oligarchs, served jail terms and exiles for upholding contrary political views during the party-less monarchical system and chose to live a simple life without showing any craving as such for physical property, such as a house, land and car, or getting married to establish a family, for that matter. Starting from his childhood dream of becoming an actor, Sushil Koirala, who joined politics early on by drawing inspirations from the NC's ideals of nationality, democracy and socialism, lived a life full of twists and turns that eventually made him a hero, who led Nepal's peace process to a logical conclusion in the Federal Loktantrik Republic of Nepal, placing him somewhere down the Koirala-clan line linking late BP Koirala and GP Koirala. Until his demise, Sushil Koirala worked for a politics that aimed at making Nepal peaceful and prosperous. His absence will be conspicuous in the party as well as in the nation. As the nation and the world remember leader Sushil Koirala, the onus lies with his top brass party colleagues to take good care of the party and make it work towards fulfilling late Koirala's political dream.

Nepal and India on Saturday signed nine different agreements during official visit by Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli.

The deals were signed between the two countries during meeting between PM Oli and his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi at Hyderabad House, New Delhi.

A  Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed between Nepal and India on utilization of USD 250 million vowed by the Indian government as post-earthquake assistance.

Likewise, MoUs were signed on strengthening of road infrastructure in Tarai region of Nepal and between Nepal Academy of Drama and Sangeet Natak Akademi of India.

Similarly, Nepal and India inked letters of exchanges on transit between Nepal and Bangladesh through Kakarvitta-Banglabandhu corridor and operation and utilization of Vishakhapatnam port.

Moreover, another letter of exchange was signed on rail transport to/from Vishakhapatnam and rail transit facility through Singhabad for Nepal’s trade with and through Bangladesh. 

On the occasion, the two prime ministers jointly inaugurated Muzzaffarpur-Dhalkebar Transmission Line.

Nepal and India have also agreed to form eminent persons group.

Kathmandu: Nepal’s Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli will begin his six-day India visit from Friday with an aim to bring back India-Nepal friendship back on track.

Briefing media persons here a day ahead of his state visit to India, Oli said his visit will clear the misunderstanding that developed recently between the two neighbours.

He, however, said that his government does not have any specific agenda or proposals to be made during his visit.

"This visit is being organised amid complex circumstances... the major objective is to clear a few misunderstandings that surfaced between the two neighbours in the last few months and taking the bilateral ties to new heights," the PM said.

"We want friendship, co-existence and mutual respect from India and we must continue this age-old relation on an equal footing... we are conscious about our interest," he added.

Refuting speculations about agreement on various pending projects, Oli stressed on creating a favourable and trust-worthy environment for strengthening the historic tie for implementation of development projects.

Observing that his upcoming visit, that begins on Friday, holds great importance for both sides, Oli said that taking the bilateral relations to a new heights and beginning of a new page in bilateral ties is another prime focus.

"We have some expectations ... and great expectation from India ... that is friendly behaviour from the Indian side. We also offer and commit the same on our side," he said.

"Investment in Nepal is secured, profitable and guaranteed ... I will tell the Indian business community in my interaction," said Oli adding that "We don't have any intention to add mud to water any more".

Oli's visit comes at a time when Nepal is struggling to get back to normal from an almost six-month-long Madhesi agitation and blockading of the India-Nepal border by the protestors that led to an acute scarcity of food, fuel and medicines in the Himalayan nation.

The prime minister said the invitation by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was an initiative to take the friendship to a new height on the basis of mutual respect and co-existence.

He said India has already welcomed Nepal's new constitution which was promulgated on September 20 last year. "India invited the PM who was elected under the constitutional provision... that means India has welcomed the constitution in Nepal."

No controversial agreements will be signed during the visit, said the PM adding that "My visit will lay ground for mutual trust and confidence".

"There has been some damage in bilateral relations and my duty is to repair it," he said.

Dwelling on the anti-Constitution agitation by the Madhesis, Oli said the issue will be resolved only through dialogue. "A high-level political body will be formed by this evening to resolve the disputable issues," he said.

The Nepali head of the government, who is embarking on the India visit with a 46-member delegation, further said that no agreement against national welfare will be concluded during his visit.

According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the prime minister will hold an official meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on February 20. He will also pay courtesy calls on Indian President Pranab Mukherjee and Vice-President Mohammad Hamid Ansari.

Oli said: "My government does not believe in diplomacy but in honesty and friendship. We do not believe in polished language but we believe in being practical."

"We do not use any card against each other but we just want to see mutual respect from both our neighbours," he added.

"Yes, there are some pending issues before us to accomplish but we need an advanced level of understanding to complete them ... we need to resolve them through the practical way."

This is Oli's first foreign visit after assuming the office of prime minister in October last year. He will return to Nepal on February 24.

Dec 22, 2015- India on Monday welcomed the decisions taken by the government of Nepal to address demands regarding the constitution raised by agitating Madhes-based parties.
The government on Sunday had decided to form a high-level political mechanism to redraw the borders of federal provinces as part of its bid to end the prolonged Madhes crisis.
Issuing a statement on Monday, India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said, “Government of India welcomes these developments as positive steps that help create the basis for a resolution of the current impasse in Nepal.”
The Cabinet-formed mechanism has been mandated with the task of submitting a report within three months of its formation.
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs Kamal Thapa on Monday spoke with India’s Minister for External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and communicated the Cabinet decisions.
Stating that External Affairs Minister [Swaraj] was informed by Nepal’s DPM and Foreign Minister Kamal Thapa on Monday that Nepal’s Cabinet has taken some important decisions to address and resolve demands regarding the constitution raised by agitating Madhes-based parties, the MEA said: “As a neighbour and well-wisher, India was deeply concerned at the unrest stemming from internal differences in Nepal on the constitution. India is confident that a return to normalcy in Nepal would create a more secure and predictable climate for unimpeded commerce between our two countries.”
The MEA has also urged all Nepali political forces to demonstrate the necessary maturity and flexibility to find a satisfactory solution to the constitutional issues through constructive dialogue in an agreed timeframe.
Sunday’s Cabinet decisions include amendments to the constitution on participation in the state organs on the basis of proportionate inclusiveness and delineation of electoral constituencies on the basis of population. The government has also decided to address the concerns about demarcation of provinces through an appropriate arrangement in the constitution on the basis of political consensus. On citizenship and other issues, the government has said the issues will be resolved through negotiations and consensus.
The Madhes-based parties, which are objecting to the government move of tabling the Constitution Amendment Bill in Parliament, have made redrawing of provincial boundaries their key demand.
The government had tabled the bill in Parliament on December 15. The bill proposes proportional representation of women, Dalits, Janajatis and the Madhesi community in state bodies and electoral constituency delimitation based on the population by retaining at least one constituency for each of the 75 districts.

Thapa also urged the Madhes-based parties to withdraw the ongoing protests in the Tarai.

Azad, who was elected to India's lower house Lok Sabha for the third term from Dharbhanga, Bihar, made the statement while addressing a program in his constituency on Tuesday, reports Hindi daily Jagaran. Azad's statement came as he protested that Nepal government had not addressed the demands of the Madhesi agitation.
A former cricketer of the Indian national team, Azad claimed that the 15 districts were once a part of India's territory and were granted to Nepal by the British rulers.
He said that no one in the Indian establishment had taken initiative to reclaim these territories into India once the country got independence from the British rule, adding that he would raise the issue in the parliament and make an appeal to demand the concerned districts from Nepal.

The Madhesh Movement is also the liberation movement of the marginalised peoples of the Himalayas and Hills as well as Madhesh and Tharuhat, Yadav maintained.
Rather than addressing the movement, the government is conspiring to pit Madheshi and Pahadi people against each other in a bid to foment communal violence and spoil national unity, according to Yadav. He called on all concerned to remain aware of such a plot and maintain unity in diversity and diversity in unity.
The Madheshi leader also called protesters to provide free passage for ambulances, vehicles of diplomatic missions, the Press, human rights organisations, fire engines and edicine carriers.
