Bharat Mohan Adhikari (Nepali: भरतमोहन अधिकारी) (4 May 1936 – 2 March 2019) was a Nepali politician and freedom fighter. He became the Minister of Finance of Nepal in the 1994-95 government of Prime Minister Man Mohan Adhikari.[1] He was the first communist Finance Minister who championed the "Afno Gaun Afai Banau" (Nepali: आफ्नो गाउँ आफै बनाउँ; Develop our own village) campaign.

He also served as the deputy prime minister of Nepal in the Deuba cabinet (2004–05), which was later dissolved by King Gyanendra. Although a central figure of the CPN-UML, he was considered to have held more moderate views.

Health and death

In 2012, he was at the Medanta Medicity Hospital in New Delhi for suspected valvular heart disease, but was not treated for the same.[2][3] He died on 2 March 2019 from multiple organ failure stemming from a severe case of COPD.[4]
