Nepal's former Prime
Minister and chief of the Communist
Party of Nepal (Maoist), Prachanda, arrived
in New Delhi on 14th July on a 7-day visit to deliberate with Modi and his
cabinet colleagues as Nepal draws closer to finalise the Constitution. Prachanda also met foreign affairs minister Sushma
Swaraj, foreign secretary Jaishankar, Home Minister Rajnath Singh, apart from
President Pranab Mukherjee.
Earlier, Nepali Maoists had been closer to China and
continued baiting India for long, but in changing world scenario where China is
being isolated politically through “pivot to asia” program under US, Nepali
Maoists have changed their strategy and have come closer to US strategic establishment.
