Hari Shankar Tiwari

Hari Shankar Tiwari

Hari Shankar Tiwari is an Indian politician from Gorakhpur in Eastern Uttar Pradesh. He was originally with the Indian National Congress political party, but has changed parties several times.

In the 1982 U.P. State Elections, he was one of the first Indian politicians (along with Ravindra Shahi) to win an election from behind bars.

He has been a cabinet minister at the State Assembly in several governments, including the Kalyan Singh (Bharatiya Janata Party) government (1997-1999), when he was charged with forcibly acquiring the property of a widow in Gorakhpur and a retired army officer in Lucknow, though later in both cases he was cleared of the charges. He was also a minister in the Mulayam Singh Yadav (Samajwadi Party) government (2003-2007).
