'''Ganesh Prasad Rijal''' ({{lang-ne|[[:ne: गणेशप्रसाद रिजाल]]}}, 11 May 1920 – 4 April 1998) was a [[Nepalis|Nepali]] politician. He took part in the [[Revolution of 1951|1951 democratic revolution of Nepal]] and later in 1959, elected as a member of parliament from [[Ilam District|Ilam]] district. On 15 December 1960, King Mahendra suspended the constitution, dissolved the elected parliament, dismissed the cabinet, imposed direct rule and imprisoned the then prime minister [[Bishweshwar Prasad Koirala]] and his closest government colleagues. After King Mahendra's coup, Rijal was exiled to India along with other leaders and workers of [[Nepali Congress]] party. During his exile, he resided in [[Kalimpong]] and [[Naxalbari]] in Indian state of [[West Bengal]]. He returned homeland in 1975 following government granting amnesty, and continued his political career, residing in [[Damak]] and [[Kathmandu]] simultaneously.<ref name="Tuladhar">{{cite book |last=Tuladhar|first=Daman Raj|date= 1980 |title=Contemporary Nepal, 1945–1955|page=340 |language=en |location=Kathmandu |publisher=Laxmi Publication }}</ref><ref name="bpk">{{cite book |last=Koirala|first=Bishweshwar Prasad|author1-link=Bishweshwar Prasad Koirala|date=2001|title=Atmabrittanta: Late Life Recollections|page=167|language=en|location=Kathmandu|publisher=Himal Books}}</ref><ref name="abj">{{Citation|last=Joshi|first=Angur Baba|author-link=Angur Baba Joshi|title=THE FIRST GENERAL ELECTION IN NEPAL|journal= Parliamentary Affairs |volume= XII |issue=3|pages=311–319|publisher=Oxford|date=January 1958}}</ref><br />
