Nepal’s newly elected President Bidya Devi Bhandari was born in Guranse village of Bhojpur district on June 19, 1961. She had begun her political career from a leftist student union in late 1970s. She got membership of the then CPN-ML in 1980-81, around two years before she tied the conjugal knot with the famed Communist leader Madan Kumar Bhandari. Madan Kumar, who was later elected General Secretary of the then CPN-ML and also of the unified CPN-UML, propounded Janatako Bahudaliya Janawad (People’s Multiparty Democracy), the guiding principle of today’s UML. The leader is also attributed for popularising Nepal’s Communist movement to a new height.
