Gajendra Prasad Himanshu is a veteran socialist leader from Bihar, India. Seven times he has been elected M.L.A. from Hasanpur (in years 1967, 1969, 1972, 1977, 1980, 1990 & 2000).[1]

He is considered to be one of the very honest and principled politicians in Bihar. Twice he had rejected the offer to become Chief Minister at the cost of breaking his party and taking support from congress. Due to his non controversial and clean image he is respected by all the leaders from his own and other parties as well. He is highly influenced by the ideologies of Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia.

In year 1977, he became minister of state irrigation, Government of Bihar. He was deputy speaker of Bihar Legislative Assembly from 1980 to 1985. In 1990, he became cabinet minister of Public Health and Engineering Department (PHED), Bihar.

He was nominated as speaker of Bihar Assembly in year 2000, by Janata Dal (United) Government. However, the nomination was withdrawn last minute to retain the sanctity of the House particularly that of the chair's post and would not like to contest the election just to create a precedence.[2][3]
