Chandra Bhanu Gupta (14 July 1902[1] – 11 March 1980[2]) served three terms as chief minister of Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.

Early life

He was born in Atrauli, Aligarh district in 1902. Gupta joined the Indian independence movement at 17, when he took part in anti-Rowlatt Bill demonstrations in Sitapur.[3] He was elected President of Congress Party for Lucknow in 1929.[3]

Social contribution

Gupta was the main force behind the Motilal Nehru Memorial Society, which set up various educational, social welfare and cultural centres in Lucknow. These include Ravindralaya, Children Museum, Bal Vidya Mandir, Acharya Narendra Dev Hostel, Homeopathic Hospital, a number of Degree Colleges and a Public Library in Lucknow.[4] Actively advised by Nirmal Chandra Chaturvedi, he introduced a number of schemes for social, cultural and educational development of the city.

Electoral Politics

Chandra Bhanu Gupta won UP assembly election from Lucknow City East in 1952, defeating his Jana Sangh rival. But in 1957 he lost from the same seat to Triloki Singh of Socialist Party. Later he became Chief Minister during that assembly's five year run. He might have won a bypoll or become MLC. In 1962 he became MLA from Ranikhet South seat. In 1967 and 1969 elections, he was elected from Ranikhet assembly seat.
