In an indication of a new turn in India-Nepal ties, Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated his Nepalese counterpart Sher Bahadur Deuba after he won the vote of confidence in Nepal’s House of Representatives by an emphatic margin on Sunday.
PM Modi tweeted his congratulations to Deuba on Sunday night after even some close associates of the previous incumbent KP Oli broke ranks to give him 165 votes in the 275-member House as against his original support base of 149 MPs.
PM Modi followed up his message with a call to Deuba on Monday in which he hoped the two leaders will work together to further enhance the wide-ranging cooperation between the two countries, including in the fight against the pandemic.

Kathmandu witnessed a day of dramatic developments when the Nepal Supreme Court gave an “inviolable” order for the installation of Sher Bahadur Deuba of the Nepali Congress as the next Prime Minister by Tuesday. It overturned Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli’s decision to dissolve the House, second time in five months.
Previous stints
His previous stint as PM began in June 2017 and ended in February 2018
Before that, Deuba was appointed PM in 1995, 2001 and 2004
But the basis for the Supreme Court’s calculation was undercut by conciliation between Oli and his party rival Madhav Kumar Nepal, who had walked away with 25 parliamentarians to support Deuba.
