In April 1990, Bhattarai was elected prime minister of Nepal following the Jana-Andolan, a well-known democracy movement. Bhattarai served as Nepal's prime minister twice: from 19 April 1990 to 26 May 1991 while serving as interim leader, and from 31 May 1999 to 22 March 2000 when serving as the country's elected leader.
From February 12, 1976, until his election as party president in 1988, Bhattarai served as the Nepali Congress's nominal president for almost 26 years.
He was a founding member of the Nepali democracy
movement. While he served as interim prime minister, the Constitution of Nepal (1990) was promulgated, and he is credited with organizing the 1990 legislative election, which is regarded as a turning point in Nepalese political history.
Bhattarai had taken part in a protracted fight to modernize the Nepalese political order in an effort to change a society that had been cut off from the outside world for many years.
He started politics to end the 104-year-rule of the Rana Dynasty. During the political movement of 1950 to overthrow the Rana autocracy, initiated by the Bairgania Conference of the Nepali Congress on 26–27 September 1950 (Ashvin 10–11, 2007 BS), he was in charge of armed group Congress Mukti Sena fighting in Gorkha district.
This armed struggle was initiated by the Nepali Congress, of which he was founding member. The armed revolution by the Nepali Congress was supported by King Tribhuvan, who was in exile, and by Indian and Burmese socialists. The armed revolution ultimately brought an end to the 104-year-rule of the Rana Dynasty on 18 February 1951 (Falgun 7, 2007 BS).
