His candidacy is associated with the early emergence of a \"third pole\" in Nepali Congress internal politics, a space later reflected in the Sitaula-led factional alignment and eventually influenced the rise of leaders like Gagan Thapa in the party’s reformist camp."],"facts":[{"key":"born","label":"Born","values":[{"text":"1933","date":"1933"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q251025#P569"}},{"key":"birthplace","label":"Place of birth","values":[{"text":"Nepal","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q837"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q251025#P19"}},{"key":"died","label":"Died","values":[{"text":"1 December 2012","date":"2012-12-01"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q251025#P570"}},{"key":"deathplace","label":"Place of death","values":[{"text":"Nepal","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q837"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q251025#P20"}},{"key":"citizenship","label":"Citizenship","values":[{"text":"Nepal","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q837"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q251025#P27"}},{"key":"occupation","label":"Occupation","values":[{"text":"politician","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q82955"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q251025#P106"}},{"key":"party","label":"Political party","values":[{"text":"Nepali Congress","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q216660"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q251025#P102"}},{"key":"positions","label":"Positions held","values":[{"text":"Member of the Nepalese Constituent Assembly","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q18056060"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q251025#P39"}}],"office":null,"sections":[],"cited":[],"cited_from":null,"videos":[],"last_reviewed":null,"organizations":[],"same_as":["https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhim_Bahadur_Tamang","https://ne.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A4%AD%E0%A5%80%E0%A4%AE%E0%A4%AC%E0%A4%B9%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%A6%E0%A5%81%E0%A4%B0_%E0%A4%A4%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%AE%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%99","https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q251025"],"faq":[{"q":"When was Bhim Bahadur Tamang born?","a":"Bhim Bahadur Tamang was born on 1933 in Nepal."},{"q":"What positions has Bhim Bahadur Tamang held?","a":"Positions held by Bhim Bahadur Tamang include: Member of the Nepalese Constituent Assembly."}],"related":[{"name":"Ram Baran Yadav","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/ram-baran-yadav"},{"name":"K.
