The Delhi Accord had promised a Constituent Assembly. It never came. The decade after the 1951 revolution was a churn of cabinets, palace intrigue and postponed elections — six governments in ten years. King Tribhuvan died in March 1955 in Zürich; his son Mahendra (महेन्द्र) inherited a crown that had just been restored to real power.दिल्ली सम्झौताले संविधानसभाको वाचा गरेको थियो — त्यो कहिल्यै भएन। क्रान्तिपछिको दशक मन्त्रिमण्डल र दरबार षड्यन्त्रको उथलपुथल थियो। त्रिभुवन १९५५ मा जुरिचमा मरे; महेन्द्रले त्यो दरबार पाए।
The First Election — 1959पहिलो निर्वाचन — १९५९
The 1959 Constitution (promulgated 12 February 1959) finally created a bicameral parliament. On 27 May 1959, Nepal held its first general election — 109 seats. The Nepali Congress (नेपाली काङ्ग्रेस) won 74. B.P. Koirala (विश्वेश्वर प्रसाद कोइराला), the novelist-revolutionary who had been jailed by the Ranas, became the country's first elected prime minister.१९५९ को संविधानले द्विसदनीय संसद दियो; २७ मे १९५९ मा पहिलो आम निर्वाचन — काङ्ग्रेसले १०९ मध्ये ७४ सिट जित्यो, र बी.पी. कोइराला नेपालका पहिला निर्वाचित प्रधानमन्त्री बने।
His programme was land reform, civil liberties and "democratic socialism" — drafting a land bill and moving to tax the Rana estates. He offered the palace full cooperation. It did not save him.उनको कार्यक्रम — भूमिसुधार, नागरिक स्वतन्त्रता, 'लोकतान्त्रिक समाजवाद' — र राणा बगैंचामा कर। राजदरबारसँग उनले आफैं पूर्ण सहयोग प्रस्ताव गरे। त्यो उनलाई बचाउन सकेन।
The Royal Coup — 15 December 1960राजकीय 'कु' — पुस ७, २०१७
In the early hours of 15 December 1960, King Mahendra arrested B.P. Koirala and his entire cabinet minutes before proclaiming the dissolution of parliament, the suspension of the constitution and the ban of political parties. Declassified CIA files document the sequence: the arrests came first, the proclamation after. B.P. spent eight years in prison, then exile in India, and died in Kathmandu in 1982 — democracy's longest-serving prisoner.पुस ७, २०१७ को बिहान राजा महेन्द्रले बी.पी. कोइराला र मन्त्रिमण्डललाई घेरे — घोषणा भन्दा केही मिनेट अगाडि — संसद भंग गरे, संविधान निलम्बित गरे, दलहरू प्रतिबन्धित गरे। बी.पी. आठ वर्ष कैद र निर्वासनमा बिताए।
