First elected PM of Nepal
I am writing in response to the various news articles related to the former Nepalese prime minister, Girija Prashad Koirala, published in The Daily Star.
He has been described as the first elected prime minister of Nepal, but it is not true. The first elected premier was his elder brother the late Bishweshwar Prashad Koirala. Girija Prashad Koirala became prime minister only after democracy was brought back in the early nineties.
