It was in his initiation and leadership that Nepal got its first democracy in 2007 B. S overthrowing 104 years long antonate of Rana rule in Nepal. Koirala then concentrated on developing Nepali political structure, but his purpose remained unfulfilled due to the political barricade created by late king Tribhuvan, and this obstruction continued even during late King Mahendra’s rule. Even though the election of the constituent assembly was supposed to be held on 2007 B.S. along with the dawn of democracy, it could not take place. However, the King agreed to the election of Parliament instead of constitution assembly election in 2015 B.S.(1959 A.D.). B. P. Koirala emerged as a great hero through this election by winning the 2/3rd seats that his party had won in the Parliament and becoming the first elected Prime Minister of Nepal.

Despite all the barriers and obstacles he went through, from the Kings of Nepal, he turned out to be a great national hero. Not only in his own country, B.P. Koirala is still highly admired in India for the role he played in the Independence of India against British rule. He was also imprisoned in India by the British for a few years for his involvement in the Indian independence struggle. His contribution towards the Independence and democratic revolution is truly praiseworthy.
