After Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli went on a visit to China on Saturday, Deputy Prime Minister and Urban Development Minister Prakashman Singh has been given the responsibility of Acting Prime Minister. After being appointed Prime Minister on 30 June 2008, Oli has visited foreign countries six times while Singh has held the responsibility of Acting Prime Minister for the same number of times.

Singh, who participated in the government by leading the ministers from the Congress, is not seen to have a role in the government mechanism other than the role of acting prime minister in the government.

Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba has been promoting his confidant Home Minister Ramesh Akhtar to the important role of Rajkaz. That is why Prime Minister Oli looks for the author in every decisive discussion. Even the other Congress ministers show more loyalty to the author than to Singh.

Although it is said that the party sent Singh to lead the government, in fact the home minister is taking the lead in all the work. We cannot meet with the Prime Minister when we say so. Not everything is discussed in depth. That is why the work of the Ministry is coordinated with the Prime Minister and even the work of facilitating some decisions is done by the Home Minister,' says a Congress minister.

The author has sensitive bodies and important responsibilities such as internal security, law and order, crime control, disaster management, citizenship, and immigration. The scope of the ministry is so wide that it has to look at all the subjects that are not under the division of work of other ministries. However, the busyness of the Home Minister writer is not only limited to the performance of the ministry.

Deuba is trusting the Home Minister to take responsibility for important political events including inter-party coordination, power sharing issues to be done as Congress President Deuba's envoy. Singh, who led the

government, is dissatisfied with Deuba saying that he did not get a role. While Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Bishnu Paudel from UML was a member of the high-level political apparatus, Singh was not included. From UML, senior vice president Ishwar Pokharel, general secretary Shankar Pokharel, deputy prime minister and finance minister Paudel and party deputy general secretary and prime minister's political adviser Bishnu Rimal are members of the system. Similarly, Deputy Chairman Purna Bahadur Khadka, General Minister Gagan Thapa, Home Minister Akhtar and Foreign Minister Arju Rana Deuba are members from the Congress. Singh has been complaining not only about not being included in the

mechanism, but also that important meetings in Baluwatar and Budhanilkanth have not been called. A few days ago, questions were raised about Singh's role in the meeting of seven former office bearers of the party. Along with Singh, former office bearers Gopalman Shrestha, Bimalendra Nidhi, Krishna Prasad Sitaula, Vijayakumar Gachchdar, Shashank Koirala, Prakasharan Mahat participated. In the

meeting, the deputy prime minister, who took the leadership from the party, was not participating in the political mechanism and was not present in any government mechanism meeting. Singh himself informed that he had two 'one-to-one' conversations on this issue.

Deuba, who succeeded to become chairman for the second time due to Singh's support in the party's 14th convention, has complained that he did not get a role even though he sent Singh to lead the government on behalf of the party. A minister who takes leadership from the party has the main responsibility of coordinating between the government and the party and facilitating the work of the ministers. After being deprived of all those roles, Singh repeatedly complained, but Deuba did not pay attention.

Former Vice Chairman Gopalman Shrestha said, 'Prakashmanji may have a complaint in his heart for not getting a role, but I don't know if he disclosed it to the Chairman or not. A wrong message has been sent by not keeping the minister who will lead the government from the party in the mechanism. I asked the Speaker long ago why the Deputy Prime Minister who led the government from the Congress was not included when the UML placed Deputy Prime Minister Bishnu Paudel on behalf of the government.

Congress spokesperson Prakasharan Mahat also said that it is theoretically not good not to include the minister who leads from the party in the important decision-making process. Have you told the chairman or not? don't know There is no discussion in the group meeting. He might not have said anything to us, thinking that 'it's okay, others have gone, I will be informed'. But if he feels that way, he should get an official role. He has to raise this issue in particular rather than us.'

There is a complaint within the party that Singh is missing even in the role of his own ministry. Singh, who has held important responsibilities like urban ministry, is being criticized for his presence and influence in the government. Allegations of misuse of the budget are also being made in the budget ministry program.

However, according to the leaders, Deuba has been giving roles not based on performance but on the basis of his confidants, as is currently the case with the Minister of Home Affairs. This is the reason why a writer like Dainik has to go to Deuba's residence in Baluwatar or Budhanilkanth. The author is directly involved in many decisions within the party and in the government. Due to this, he is also able to get involved in the regular administrative and policy work of the Ministry.

The Ministry of Home Affairs is the administrative and security backbone of the country. It covers more than 51 subjects such as internal security, law and order, crime control, disaster management, armed insurgency control, international border security, and protection of human rights.

Agencies such as Nepal Police, Armed Police Force, National Investigation Department, Prison Management Department, and Immigration Department are also subordinate to the Home Minister. These agencies play a role in maintaining law and order from the local level to the central level. The ministry also handles complex responsibilities such as coordination with Interpol, enforcement of extradition treaties, and drug control.

'Party President Deuba has a tendency to place responsibility upon the shoulders of one person but not to trust other persons. For this reason, the network of employees in the Ministry of Home Affairs is stronger than that of the ministers. The effect of this has been seen in the fact that ministers are sometimes dragged into disputes or delayed in the work of home administration.'

According to an official of the Ministry of Home Affairs, although some significant work has been done on legal construction, other important works have been overshadowed due to the busyness of the Home Minister. 'Since the Home Minister is not able to give more time, he has not been able to pay attention to where and what the employees are doing. The visit-visa case is also a result of not being able to monitor the employees.'

Deuba's tendency to prioritize his close ones over other leaders is old. In recent times the circle has narrowed. A Congress functionary says,  'There is no other trusted person in the Deuba kitchen cabinet other than the writer. Therefore, it is necessary to advance the writer in important work within the party. Especially, apart from Foreign Minister Arju Rana Deuba and Home Minister Writer, it seems that Deuba does not have a trustworthy person in the kitchen cabinet.'
