Government clueless about Indian chief minister’s visit

Nov 23, 2018. Kathmandu. The visit of Yogi Adityanath, chief minister of the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, to Janakpur to attend a religious event has sparked a controversy after the Nepal government said it has no information about his plan. 

Several political parties and leaders have raised objections to Adityanath’s visit because, earlier this summer, Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli had invited Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take part in the Bibaha Panchami ceremony. 

The two leaders were also expected to inaugurate the newly built Janakpur-Jaynagar railway.
