He became prime minister for the second time when he succeeded Girija Prasad Koirala , who resigned in July 2001, after the murder of King Birendra and several other royal family members by the crown prince. Deuba was in turn removed by Birendra's successor, King Gyanendra , in October 2002, after Deuba dissolved Parliament and called for elections. After two other governments, much political protest, and the inability to find another suitable candidate, Gyanendra restored Deuba to the position of prime minister in 2004. Deuba took charge of most of the major government departments in the cabinet. In July 2004, a new cabinet was formed in which Deuba gave up the finance, interior and other departments. He remained the minister of foreign affairs and defense in addition to being prime minister. He was removed on February 1 , 2005 by King Gyanendra, who dissolved the government for three years. The official reason given was his inability to deal effectively with the Maoist Insurgents and end the violence that has plagued the mountain kingdom for the past several years. He was sentenced to two years in prison in July 2005 under corruption charges, but was subsequently released on February 13th, 2006, after the anti-corruption body that sentenced him was outlawed. |
