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. [citation needed]
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]
