About

Baidya became the leader of the Communist Party of Nepal (Mashal), when that party was formed in 1985.

In 1986, Mohan Baidya was acting as General Secretary of the CPN (Mashal) when he called for an armed uprising against King Birendra. These attempts were ultimately unsuccessful leading to the arrest of several revolutionaries known as the Sector Incident. It saw Baidya face severe internal criticism culminating in his resignation and replacement with Pushpa Kamal Dahal.

Baidya was not included during the Nepalese Civil War peace process as he was serving time in Indian prison. He later voiced criticism of the decisions made by Maoist representatives during the agreements.
