During today's meeting, the two held discussions on the issues of mutual interest as well as about the latest political developments of Nepal, according to Biswas Bikram, personal aide of DPM Nidhi.



Nidhi is scheduled to call on Bharatiya Janata party (BJP) Chairperson Amit Shah today itself.

Similarly, Congress (I)'s Vice-President Rahul Gandhi called on DPM Nidhi on Sunday at the hotel in New Delhi the latter has been staying.



During the meetings, India's high-ranking officials lauded the role of the government of Nepal in considering amendment in the new constitution and addressing the genuine demands put forth by some disgruntled Madhesh-centric political parties, shared DPM Nidhi's personal aide Bikram.


Among the objectives of DPM Nidhi's visit to India as an emissary of PM Dahal is to extend invitation to India's President for a visit to Nepal and place a request on the behalf of the government to fix a date for the same. RSS
