Banarsi Das Gupta, Indian activist and politician, 4th Chief Minister of Haryana (died 2007)

Banarsi Das Gupta was an Indian politician who served as the 4th Chief Minister of Haryana state in India.

The chief minister of Haryana is the chief executive of the Indian state of Haryana. As per the Constitution of India, the governor is a state's de jure head, but de facto executive authority rests with the chief minister. Following elections to the Haryana Legislative Assembly, the state's governor usually invites the party with a majority of seats to form the government. The governor appoints the chief minister, whose council of ministers are collectively responsible to the assembly. Given that they have the confidence of the assembly, the chief minister's term is for five years and is not subjected to any term limits.
