Bidya Bhattarai[2] (also Bidhya Bhattarai) is a Nepali politician and a member of the House of Representatives of the Federal Parliament of Nepal. She won the by-election of Kaski-2, a constituency that was made empty by the premature death of her husband, cabinet minister Rabindra Prasad Adhikari, in a helicopter crash in February 2019. She defeated her nearest rival, Khemraj Paudel of Nepali Congress, by a margin of more than 8,000 votes.[3][4] She was re-elected in 2022 from the same constituency.
