The elimination of the entire ruling royal family resulted in the enthronement of Prince Gyanendra Bir Bikram Shah, the brother of the late King Birendra and the next eligible heir, as the king.
As opposed to the late King Birendra, Gyanendra is believed to be in favour of a stronger role for monarchy, Pre 1990, he is supposed to have prevented the king from giving more powers to the village panchayats.
The death of King Birendra, who had at one time wanted to use the Army against the Maoists but was prevented from doing so by Gyanendra, may lead to the Maoists becoming more active in the country.
