Comment by Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Deb, has emerged as a new irritant in India’s relations with Nepal.
Kathmandu has lodged a protest with New Delhi over Biplab Deb’s recent statement quoting Union Home Minister Amit Shah saying that the BJP had plans to expand its footprints beyond the geographical boundaries of India and to form governments in Nepal and Sri Lanka.
