Purna Bahadur Khadka is a famous name representing Karnali in Nepali politics. He has been the former Deputy Prime Minister, Home Minister, and Defense Minister and is also the former Vice President of the Nepali Congress. Khadka's strong influence has been seen in the politics of the Nepali Congress in Karnali Province. This time too, he was recommended as a candidate for the House of Representatives from Surkhet-1. However, after the developments in the Nepali Congress after Magh, Purna Bahadur announced that he would not contest the election.
After he did not become a candidate, his younger brother Bishnu Bahadur Khadka got the ticket from this constituency. After his brother said that he would not contest the election, no one thought that his brother would become a candidate. His name was made public only at 10 am on the day of nomination registration.
There is also an allegation that he became a candidate because of his brother. At this time, he held a press conference and urged people not to associate him with his brother. Instead, he said that he was away from active politics because his brother was in politics.
In Surkhet-1, Bishnu defeated UML's Dhruv Kumar Shahi. He won with 26,897 votes.
Khadka, who had maintained the lead from the beginning, was being followed by UML's Dhruv Shahi. Shahi received 18,890 votes. The Returning Officer's Office has stated that 2,483 votes were invalid in this constituency where 68,710 votes were cast. Tek Bahadur Singh Thakuri of the National Independent Party came in third in this constituency. He received 14,729 votes.
Although Bishnu was not visibly active in politics, he was a strong supporter of his brother. He used to follow his brother in the district. He is also the Surkhet District Vice President of the Nepali Congress.
His brother's political career made it easy for him to win the election because he understood Surkhet-1.
Bishnu is a transport and medical professional. He is also the founder of the Midwest Transport Professionals Association. He started Maya Medical Hall in Birendranagar, Surkhet in 2042 BS, which has now become Maya Hospital. He also has investments in petrol pumps, drug dealers, etc.
He was born in Birendranagar Municipality-7. In 2036 BS, he stood in favor of multi-party politics, holding rallies, writing on walls and distributing pamphlets in favor of multi-party politics. He was at the forefront of the 2046 BS People's Movement and also started a movement in Surkhet. At that time, he was detained for 11 days for the first time and for 26 days for the second time.
After becoming a candidate, he said that he did not want to contest the election, but entered the election fray due to different circumstances. He said that the regional committee recommended his own name rather than being a candidate.
Congress Surkhet President Khadga Pokharel says that he has always been secondary in politics because of Bishnu Purna Bahadur. He had worked as an assistant to make his brother Purna Bahadur's politics successful. That is why he says that it was not difficult for him to win.
