Nepal Ratna Man Padavi Madan Kumar Bhandari (Nepali: मदन कुमार भण्डारी) (27 June 1951[1] – 17 May 1993[2]), commonly known as Madan Bhandari, was a popular[3] Nepali political leader belonging to the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist–Leninist), a democratic communist party in Nepal.[4] He defeated the incumbent Prime Minister Krishna Prasad Bhattarai in a landslide victory in the 1991 general election. Known for his charismatic style, Bhandari propounded the popular communist principle or thought "People's Multiparty Democracy" (Nepali: जनताको बहुदलीय जनवाद). He is widely regarded for peaking the Nepal's communist movement to a greater height. He died in a jeep accident in Dasdhunga, Chitwan, in 1993.[5][6]
