		Nevertheless, the lateral entry of some pro-Nepali Congress Party elements did not substantially change the character of the panchayat leadership, which was dominated by rural elites of the Hill Region rather than the urban Kathmandu and Tarai Region elites who had been in the forefront of political activities.
		The Nepali Congress Party-dominated government, victorious in the 1959 parliamentary elections, was overthrown by King Mahendra within two years--resulting in the ban on political parties.
		The poor showing of the Nepali Congress Party in the urban areas may also be attributed to the fact that, given that the communists had been banned for thirty years, the party did not see them as potential opposition and was overconfident.

		In the subsequent decades India switched on and off its active support for friendly democratic forces (especially the Nepali Congress) depending on India's leverage at the given moment and prospects of receiving minimum security-related cooperation from the absolutist monarchs (first King Mahendra, then his son Birendra).
		G. Koirala, leader of Nepali Congress, then in the vanguard of the pro-democracy and anti-King movement, is reported to have asked Indian Army ex-servicemen in Nepal's Gurkha districts as to what they would do if there was a war between India and Nepal.
		But the bold steps taken between the Nepali Congress Government and India in strengthening ties were to some extent undermined by the widespread (if largely unfair) perception that India was putting all its eggs in one 'pro-India' political basket in Nepal in order to promote its own interests.

		(Sikkim was annexed to India outright and Bhutan, while formally independent, is in reality completely controlled by India.) When the Maoist revolutionary governments of the three surrounding districts of the Kathmandu valley imposed a blockade on the capital in August, the Indian regime quickly organised to drop food supplies by air to Kathmandu.
