According to sources, Deuba will meet Prime Minister Modi, BJP President Amit Shah and other prominent leaders from ruling and opposition party. He will also deliver a speech at the Jawaharlal Nehru University, Kathmandu Post reported.
This is Deuba's first official visit to India after he was elected as the NC chief in March.
