In the government led by Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal, four more Deputy Prime Ministers have been appointed. Four Deputy Prime Ministers have been appointed to strengthen the ruling coalition parties.

After becoming the Prime Minister on December 10 last year, Dahal then made Vishnu Paudal, Narayankaji Shrestha, Ravi Lamichhane and Rajendra Lingden. There were four deputy prime ministers. After that, there were only two Deputy Prime Ministers, namely Banda Shrestha and Purna Bahadur Khadka, in alliance with the Congress.

Now, after forming a new alliance with UML, four Deputy Prime Ministers have been made   . Currently from UML  Raghuvir Mahaseth with the responsibility of the Ministry of Physical Infrastructure, Narayankaji Shrestha from Maoist with the responsibility of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ravi Lamichhane from the RSVP with the responsibility of the Home Ministry and Upendra Yadav from the JSPA with the responsibility of the Health Ministry have become Deputy Prime Ministers. Except for the United Socialist Party, which participated in the government, all the parties got one Deputy Prime Minister. All the four who have been appointed as Deputy Prime Ministers in the past.

Deputy Prime Ministers rank higher than ministers. Even if the position of Deputy Prime Minister is not taken, the rank in the Council of Ministers is determined. The rank of the ministers in the Council of Ministers is automatically determined by the order of rank. Therefore, the post of Deputy Prime Minister is not necessary for seniority. For prestige, leaders strive for the deputy prime minister. 

In terms of responsibility, the work of deputy prime ministers is no different from that of ministers . Secretariat facilities and salary allowances are more. According to the current salary scale, the salary of the Deputy Prime Minister is 77 thousand 640 rupees. The minister's salary is 72 thousand 730 rupees. "Procedures related to the protection of rehabilitated and pre-specified persons" 8 security personnel are given to the minister and there is a procedure to provide up to 14 security personnel for the Deputy Prime Minister . After leaving the post, up to 2 security personnel will be employed for two years .

According to the Minister's Facilities Act, the Deputy Prime Minister is a bit more than the Minister in terms of salary allowance, travel allowance, and ticket facilities available during the visit. The Council of Ministers can also increase the facilities of the ministers according to their needs. In terms of service facilities, having a deputy prime minister will also increase some expenses . After the

has to be driven by mathematics  There is a tradition of making many deputy prime ministers to strengthen the alliance. In 2007, up to 6 people were made deputy prime ministers in the government of UML president KP Sharma Oli. At that time, after all the senior leaders of the party went to the government, Oli gave him the deputy prime minister.

Dahal this time also told the alliance  Deputy Prime Minister has been given to all parties easily for convenience.

There are examples in the past of being a deputy prime minister but only a minister. Ramchandra Paudel, who has been the Speaker and Deputy Prime Minister, only became a minister in 2063.

Oli, who was criticized for appointing six deputy prime ministers when he was the prime minister for the first time, decided not to appoint a deputy prime minister when he became the prime minister for the second time after 2074. Because of that decision, Ishwar Pokharel, who had been the deputy prime minister from UML in the past, was only made defense minister when the cabinet was expanded. Later, Jaspa also joined the Oli government.

At that time, Jaspa president Upendra Yadav took the stand that he should get a deputy prime minister. After his stand, Oli reversed his decision not to keep the Deputy Prime Minister and made Yadav the Deputy Prime Minister. After Yadav was made Deputy Prime Minister, UML's Pokharel was also promoted from Minister to Deputy Prime Minister.

The practice of having a deputy prime minister started with the first elected government led by BP Koirala. Suvarna Shamsher became Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister in Koirala's government. Even in the parliamentary system after 2046, the order of having a deputy prime minister continued.

But the order of raising the Lashkar of the Deputy Prime Minister increased after the year 2063 . Before that, there was only one deputy prime minister in a cabinet. After the entry of many political parties from the Constituent Assembly through the Interim Parliament of 2063, the search for the post of Deputy Prime Minister for power sharing increased. In order to address everyone's aspirations for office, those who will be the prime minister started sharing the post of deputy prime minister. 

In the year 2051, the then general secretary of UML Madhav Nepal became the deputy prime minister in Manmohan Adhikari's government. In 2053, Bamdev Gautam of UML became the deputy prime minister in the government of Lokendra Bahadur Chand. Then in 2055 Girija Prasad Koirala made Shailaja Acharya and in 2057 Ramchandra Paudel as Deputy Prime Minister . In 2059, Lokendra Bahadur Chand made Sadbhavana Party's Badri Prasad Mandal the Deputy Prime Minister. Until this time, only one Deputy Prime Minister was being kept.

After the public movement of 2062/063, the number of deputy prime ministers increased. In the interim government of Girija Prasad Koirala, KP Oli of UML and Amik Sherchan of Jan Morcha became two deputy prime ministers. After the 2064 Constituent Assembly elections, in the first government of Pushpa Kamal Dahal, UML's Bamdev Gautam again became the Home Minister along with the Deputy Prime Minister. Upendra Yadav, then president of the Madhesi People's Rights Forum, was also named Deputy Prime Minister by Dahal.

After the fall of the Dahal government, Madhav became the government of Nepal. Sujata Koirala of Congress and Vijay Gachchdar of Madhesi Janadhikhar Forum Democratic also became deputy prime minister in that government. The government of Madhav Nepal collapsed and a government was formed under the leadership of Jhalnath Khanal. The number of Deputy Prime Ministers reached 4 in the government that lasted only 6 months. UML's Bharat Mohan Adhikari, Maoist's Krishna Bahadur Mahara and Narayankaji Shrestha and Forum's Upendra Yadav became deputy prime minister in the Khanal government.

After Baburam Bhattarai's government was formed in 2068, the number of Deputy Prime Ministers increased to 4. In the Bhattarai government, Vijay Kumar Gachchdar and Narayankaji Shrestha initially became the Deputy Prime Minister. After the term of the Constituent Assembly ended, the Congress and UML, which were in opposition at that time, also decided to participate in the government. According to this decision, Congress's Krishna Prasad Sitaula and UML's Ishwar Pokharel became Deputy Prime Minister for only 13 days in the Bhattarai government.

No one became deputy prime minister in the election government of Khilraj Regmi. Bamdev Gautam from UML and Prakashman Singh from Congress became deputy prime minister in the Sushil Koirala government formed after the second Constituent Assembly election.

After Koirala, UML's KP Sharma Oli became the Prime Minister for the first time and the history of Deputy Prime Minister was broken. 6 people became Deputy Prime Minister . After the leaders of all the parties went to the government, Oli made Bhim Rawal of UML, Vijay Kumar Gachchdar of Forum Democratic, Top Bahadur Rayamazhi of Maoist, Kamal Thapa of RPP, CP Mainali of CPN Male and Chitra Bahadur KC of Rashtriya Janamorcha as Deputy Prime Minister.
