  A simple social media post by Prime Minister Balendra (Balen) Shah eating DDC cheese has unexpectedly pushed Nepal’s state-owned Dairy Development Corporation (DDC) back into the national spotlight. Posting a photo with DDC cheese , Balen wrote, “Say cheese, DDC ko cheese.” In a follow-up comment, he added, “DDC belongs to the Government of Nepal , bro-sis.” Within 24 hours, the post went viral, drawing more than 463,000 likes, 46,000 comments and over 4,000 shares across X and Facebook.

Some constitutional experts opine that Malla had been a Constituent Assembly member on a UML ticket, while Phuyal had served as attorney general during UML rule and Regmi is close to the Nepali Congres...
