About

Badal obtained his Bachelor of Economics degree from Tribhuvan University. He studied at Tri-Chandra Campus in Kathmandu.

Encounters with feudal rule in the 1960s radicalized the young Badal. He became a political activist in 1969. As of 1976 he was part of the central leadership of the Proletarian Revolutionary Organisation, Nepal. He was put in charge of leading the organisation in the Narayani, Janakpur and Bagmati zones. In 1978 he became a member of the Nepal Workers Peasants Organisation, in 1981 he was included in the politburo of the organisation (presumably of the Sharma faction, later D.P. Singh faction). After the merger of the D.P. Singh group with the Communist Party of Nepal (Marxist-Leninist) (CPN(ML)), Badal became secretary of the Kavre District Committee and a member of the Bagmati Zonal Committee of CPN(ML).

Badal was elected Bagmati Zonal Committee as incharge and Alternate Central Committee Member at the 4th congress of CPN(ML) in 1990. As the leader of the party in the Bagmati zone, he played a key role in the 1990 Jana Andolan ('People's Movement'). The third national conference of the All Nepal Peasants Association elected him as its general secretary.

After the foundation of the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist) (CPN(UML)), Badal was made secretary of the Kavre District Committee of the party and included in its National Council.
