This is where Indian 'micro management' begins.

The People's Revolution of 2007 had just been completed. King Tribhuvan Rana was not in the mood to work with Prime Minister Mohan Samsher for long. He wanted to see the leader from the people's revolution as the prime minister.

Indian Ambassador Chandreshwar Prasad Narayan (CPN) Singh, who had a good understanding of King Tribhuvan's state of mind, suddenly appeared in an active role. And, by playing the role of the Prime Minister, he played the role of the Congress President Matrika Prasad Koirala.

However, he was a major 'actor' in Kathmandu when the armed movement against the Rana regime was in full swing. The late BP Koirala, who took refuge in the Indian embassy in New Delhi at Singh's suggestion after the Congress' plan to remove King Tribhuvan from Narayanhiti to Palpa was thwarted, has mentioned in his book 'My Life Has Not Failed'.

After the success of the 2007 revolution, New Delhi sent Govinda Narayan as King Tribhuvan's secretary. Ambassador Singh then became even more powerful.

It is said that every ambassador lies for his national interest. Singh followed the same belief.

The Khukuri Dal scandal led by Bharat Samsher was aimed at assassinating BP Koirala, who was the Home Minister in Mohan Samsher's government on behalf of the Congress. Chiniyakaji, a supporter of Bharat Samsher, was killed by a bullet fired by BP.

BP resigned as Home Minister on moral grounds and the government fell. Tribhuvan wanted the Congress to lead the new government. Indian Ambassador Singh played in the middle. And, despite the official decision of the Congress, BP could not become the Prime Minister.

Ambassador Singh said, "Matrika Babu is also the party president and BP's brother." I have just received a message from Delhi. Nehru told Tribhuvan that he liked his mother and father.

Ambassador Singh hastily met Matrika Prasad and taught him the subject. And, suggested to make yourself a claimant. It is from this point that Nepali politics leaked out through the manipulation of the Indian ambassador. And, from the same point of view, India also got involved in micro-management.

In her greed for the post, Matrika violated the party system and asked the king to make her the prime minister. From the same point, the quarrel in the Congress led to the expulsion of Matrika, Mahendra Bikram Shah, Narad Muni Thulung and Mahavir Samsher from the party.

Matrika Prasad, who formed the Rastriya Praja Party on April 29, 2010, then withdrew from mainstream politics. His obsession with becoming the Prime Minister for the second time during Tribhuvan's tenure gradually tarnished his political 'career'.

Ambassador Singh, on the other hand, wanted the dominance of the Rana, who had agreed to the 1950 treaty, to remain. And, one of India's 'puppet' prime ministers wanted to be appointed in Nepal.

It was Singh who persuaded King Tribhuvan to join the Indian Army Mission in Nepal in 1952 under the pretext of training the then Royal Nepalese Army.

The late senior politician Shri Bhadra Sharma in his book 'Some Memories with BP' mentions the non-diplomatic move of Indian Ambassador CPN Singh: 'BP called me one morning. As we were eating breakfast, the lion came standing still in front of our table, with no prior notice or permission. As soon as he came, he said, "Look, Mr. Koirala, we had some important things to say to you." BP was furious at his unexpected arrival. He also said in the same vertical style as him, who gave you this far? No information, no permission. Go, just sit down in the meeting, right now I'm talking to them about something very important. '

According to Sharma's book, Singh not only considered himself an ambassador, but also the Sarvesarva of Nepal and the ministers here as his subordinates.

In particular, there was strong dissatisfaction in Tribhuvan over Mohan Samsher's signing of the 1950 treaty. The unequal treaty between Nepal and India has been signed by Rana Prime Minister Mohan Samsher and Indian Ambassador Singh. Nepal's efforts to change the treaty aimed at perpetuating the Rana regime are still ongoing.
