'''Giridhar Gamang''' (born 8 April 1943) is a former leader of the [[Indian National Congress]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.news18.com/news/politics/bjp-to-hold-surveys-across-up-before-finalising-cm-face-1255122.html|title=BJP to Hold Surveys Across UP Before Finalising CM Face|access-date=16 September 2018}}</ref> and a former Chief Minister of [[Odisha]]. He has joined BJP since 2015. He was born at Dibirisingi village in [[Rayagada district]] of [[Odisha]]. In 1972, he was elected for the first time to the [[5th Lok Sabha]] from [[Koraput (Lok Sabha constituency)|Koraput]]. Subsequently, he was re-elected to the [[Lok Sabha]] in 1977, 1980, 1984, 1989, 1991, 1996, 1998 and 2004. He was the Chief Minister of Odisha from 17 February 1999 to 6 December 1999.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Veteran Congress leader Giridhar Gamang quits party|url = http://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/veteran-congress-leader-giridhar-gamang-quits-party/article1-1352966.aspx|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150530091125/http://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/veteran-congress-leader-giridhar-gamang-quits-party/article1-1352966.aspx|url-status = dead|archive-date = 30 May 2015|website = Hindustan Times|access-date = 2015-05-30}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title = Former Odisha CM Giridhar Gamang quits Congress - The Economic Times|url = http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/former-odisha-cm-giridhar-gamang-quits-congress/articleshow/47479922.cms|access-date = 2015-05-30}}</ref><br />

His wife, [[Hema Gamang]], won from [[Koraput district|Koraput]] constituency in the 1999 elections to the [[13th Lok Sabha]], while he was serving as the Chief Minister of [[Odisha]].<br />
<br />
In 1998, while he was a member of the 12th parliament, he was asked to become Chief minister of Odisha. Two months later, there was a vote-of-confidence against the BJP government and Giridhar still went to the parliament to vote against the government as he was from congress (despite the fact that he had to quit either being CM or the MP office and become MLA, within 6 months). The government lost power by 1 vote (269–270) and it is widely believed that if Giridhar had abstained, the speaker, G. M. C. Balayogi would have used his vote to save the government in case of tie. The fall of government resulted in another fresh general elections in May 1999.<ref>{{Cite news|title = Former Odisha CM Giridhar Gamang resigns from Congress|url = http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/former-odisha-cm-giridhar-gamang-resigns-from-congress/article7263826.ece|newspaper = The Hindu|date = 30 May 2015|access-date = 2015-05-30|issn = 0971-751X|language = en|first = Satyasundar|last = Barik}}</ref><br />
