The group had its origins in the faction led by Bharat Mohan Adhikari in the early 1970s, which was formed by a section of the Eastern Koshi Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of Nepal (which had practically separated itself from the mother party and functioned in an autonomous manner) and a small splinter section of the Gandaki-based Marxist-Leninist Revolutionary Communist Party.
The group traces its roots to Bharat Mohan Adhikari's leadership in the early 1970s, which was formed by a segment of the Eastern Koshi Provincial Committee from the Communist Party of Nepal (which had largely severed ties with the main party and operated autonomously) and a small branch of the Marxist-Leninist Revolutionary Communist Party centered on the Gandaki.
