Girija Prasad Koirala (born 1921) is the Prime Minister of Nepal. He has been the leader of that country four times, from 1991 to 1994, from 1998 to 1999, from 2000 until 2001, and from 2006. He was the first democratically elected Prime Minister of Nepal since 1959, when his brother BP Koirala and the Nepali Congress party swept the country's first democratic elections. He is also the President of the Nepali Congress Party. Born in Indian state Bihar, he is the youngest son of Krishna Prasad Koirala and Divya Koirala. Mr. Koirala has been active in politics for over sixty years and started his career as a labour leader in the Jute mills of his hometown Biratnagar.

He was elected Prime Minister in Nepal's first election following the Jana Aandolan. He was forced to dissolve parliament and call for elections in November 1994, because the Nepali Congress was unable to continue a coalition government. This led to the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist Leninist)-led coalition coming to power.

When Koirala became Prime Minister in 2000 for his third term, Nepal was fighting a civil war against the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist). His third term was severely wracked by corruption within his government. He himself personally became involved in a shady business deal involving Austrian airline company Lauda Airlines. Following the royal massacre of Nepal, Koirala was further criticized for his inability to handle the crisis. Koirala was finally forced to resign in July 2001 following an involvement of the military in the civil war for the first time. He was replaced by his one-time protege former Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba.

After the reinstation of the House of Parliament on April 24, 2006 following the Jana Aandolan 2, Mr. Koirala became Prime Minister for the fifth time in the History of Nepal.

Koirala has several opponents among the Nepali public. Despite coming from an activist family, his governments have been accused of rampant corruption on numerous occasions. As Prime Minister, he was accused of allowing the civil war to intensify unchecked. During his third term, he was constantly dogged by the Lauda scandal.

WHERE IS HIS ACADEMIC QUALIFICATIONS ????

HAVING BEEN BORN IN BIHAR STILL MAKES HIM A NEPALI CITIZEN???

Na bhako kura kaha bata aaucha ta. in nepal leaders dont need to be academically qualified

"He was elected Prime Minister in Nepal's first election following the Jana Aandolan. He was forced to dissolve parliament and call for elections in November 1994, because the Nepali Congress was unable to continue a coalition government. This led to the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist Leninist)-led coalition coming to power."

Above statement is not true. He was not forced to dissolved the parliament. Instead, he opted to dissolve the parliament following lack of co-operation from some MPs within his own party because they had some kind of dispute. Also, it was not coalition government when he dissolved parliament. There was a comfortable majority of NC with 113 seats out of 205 seats in the parliament.

its all screwed up
sh it we are screwed.......................

-the guy to give rise to armed police force after King Birendra refused to use army against the Maoist. Yet the same guy to join hands with the Maoists according to Indian roadmap shown to him so that he could be a PM one more time.

यही rate मा गिरिजा बुढोले काम गर्दै गयो भने बुढाको नाम इतिहासमा स्वर्ण अक्षरले लेखिने पक्का छ।

राजतन्त्रको अधिकार पूरा कटौती गर्ने देखि लिएर माओबादी समस्या समाधान गर्ने काम गिरीजा प्रधानमन्त्री भएको बेला नै हुने भयो त?

बुढाको अब एउटै खोट बाँकी छ, अझै पनि ceremonial monarchy अलाप्ने। जुन दिन बुढाले लोकतान्त्रिक गणतन्त्रको समर्थन गर्नेछन, तब इतिहासमा उनको नाम अमर रहने पक्का भयो।

यस्तो पनि हुँदो रहेछ। गिरीजाले जस्तो गल्ति सच्याउने मौका कमै मात्र मान्छेले पाउँछन।
