As we know that Bhimsen Thapa is regarded as the first Prime Minister of Nepal. B. P. Koirala is the first elected Prime Minister of Nepal whereas Pushpa Kamal Dahal is the first elected Prime Minister of the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal.
Head of State and Head of Government are institutions rather than a person. They are our elected representatives. All the citizen of the country should respect them. We should help them in their good works. At the same time, we should criticise and warn them for their mistakes. They are elected for a certain period of time. If they do not work for the welfare of the people and country, we can choose the other people as the head of state and head of government for another term.
Dr. Ram Baran Yadav is the first president of the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal. Ram Baran Yadav was born on February 4, 1948, in a rural area at Sapahi Village Development Committee (VDC), Ward No. 9, Dhanusa district, Nepal.
