Gajendra Bahadur Hamal (Nepali: गजेन्द्र बहादुर हमाल; born 19 February 1954[1]) is a Nepali politician who was briefly the Minister for Industry, Commerce and Supplies in the fifth Deuba cabinet. He resigned after only two days in office[2] when his appointment became controversial after reports suggested he was appointed minister after his brother-in-law Chief Justice Cholendra Shumsher JBR,[3] who had earlier reinstated parliament making it possible for Deuba to become prime minister, pressured the coalition partners to appoint two people close to him as ministers.[4][5]
