Former PM Sushil Koirala

I was wondering if there is any book in PM Sushil Koirala?

I was very intrigued how he patiently waited three months to appoint Bam Dev gautam as his home minister. That appointment immediately reminded me of Abraham Lincoln's appointment of William Seward as his Secretary of State. Just like William seward, Bam Dev Gautam was a powerful and influential political leader in Nepal and a rival of Sushil Koirala politically. At that moment I instantly knew that the government of Sushil Koirala would promulgate the constitution of Nepal. It was one of those a-ha moment. I shared this with my family and they didn't seem very interested in my insights. I went to Nepal in 2014 to get married. When I was in Nepal, I told my uncles that Sushil Koirala will promulgate the much awaited constitution. I also shared the reason how I came to that conclusion and told them about Abraham Lincoln's cabinet. They laughed at me. That didn't affect me because in my head it was crystal clear. For me it was PM Sushil Koirala's patience in appointing his cabinet members spoke volume about his character, his selflessness. He didn't rush to appoint anyone under pressure in a fear of losing his prime minister ship. I remember the parties putting pressure him to choose his cabinets soon at the time, but he didn't give in to the pressure and chose the right person for the job Bam Dev Gautam, a powerful politician. By this article I am by no means trying to compare Sushil Koirala with Abraham Lincoln, I am merely interested in knowing how was Sushil Koirala as a person. Was he as simple as the media portrayed him? Please share your experience if you knew/met Sushil Koirala.
