Early Life and Career
Chitra Bahadur K.C. grew up in Baglung, where his interest in politics was sparked at a young age. His early political involvement began with the Communist Party of Nepal (Fourth Convention). Later, in 1983, he joined Mohan Bikram Singh and became a part of the Communist Party of Nepal (Masal). His first major political test came in the 1994 elections, when he contested from Baglung-2 and secured second place with 15,089 votes.
In 1999, he was successfully elected to the Pratinidhi Sabha as a candidate of Rashtriya Jana Morcha (RJM), which functioned as the electoral front of CPN (Masal) at that time. When RJM merged with Samyukta Janamorcha Nepal in 2002, K.C. became a member of Janamorcha Nepal (JMN). However, after the split of JMN in 2006, he stayed loyal to Mohan Bikram Singh and the Communist Party of Nepal (Unity Centre-Masal). Later that year, during a conference in Butwal, K.C. was elected as the chairman of his faction of JMN.
His faction eventually took the name Rastriya Jana Morcha in 2007, under his leadership. Chitra Bahadur K.C. went on to win the Baglung-2 seat in the 2008 Constituent Assembly elections, standing as the only RJM candidate to secure victory through the First Past the Post (FPTP) system. Throughout his career, he has been one of the most outspoken critics of federalism, particularly opposing its implementation along ethnic lines, believing it could destabilize the nation.
