	Profile of Girija Prasad Koirala
		Girija Prasad Koirala, the aged and ailing politician poised to become Nepal's next prime minister, has been one of the most powerful forces in the country's tumultuous political scene since democracy was introduced in 1990.
		Koirala, 84, has been a politician for decades, a prime minister four times and is the head of the country's largest political party.
		Koirala, who suffers from heart problems, hypertension and asthma, is known as an autocrat when it comes to party loyalty - a man who has often quashed dissidence in his party with an iron fist.

	Girija Prasad Koirala - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Girija Prasad Koirala (born 1921) is the Prime Minister of Nepal.
		Koirala has been active in politics for over sixty years and started his career as a labour leader in the Jute mills of his hometown Biratnagar.
		Koirala was finally forced to resign in July 2001 following an involvement of the military in the civil war for the first time.

	National 2 (Spotlight Weekly)
		Last year, Koirala was the target of the combined opposition, who pressed for his resignation in parliament and on the streets over his alleged involvement in the Lauda Air scandal.
		Had Koirala, then general secretary of the party, not opposed the formation of the first commission to draft the post-1990 constitution, communist leaders would have had a very nominal role in the creation of the final document.
		On one tumultuous day in 1990, Koirala told his audience at the Tundikhel Open Theater that the restoration of democracy was a victory for the panchas as well, a remark that drew jeers for years.

	cbs11tv.com - Nepal's New PM Sworn In
		Koirala, a onetime labor organizer who is among the country's most senior politicians, was chosen prime minister because he was the most acceptable candidate among the leading seven-party alliance, political leaders have said on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of those discussions.
		Koirala was also expected Sunday to name ministers in his government — including representatives from all the seven main political parties that formed an alliance to protest the king's seizure of power last year.
		Koirala faces the enormous challenge of keeping the alliance together, along with trying to bring their Maoist rebel allies into talks before announcing elections to the special assembly.

		As the rally began, the crowd cheerfully demanded to hear from Koirala, and angrily threw rocks, plastic bottles and wooden sticks at the speakers when they heard he was not well and at home resting, briefly disrupting the rally.

	Maoists put off blockade till Friday
		Nepal's prime minister-designate Girija Prasad Koirala Wednesday averted the first crisis in his yet-to-start new term by persuading the Maoists to put off their blockade programme - but only till Friday when the newly reinstated parliament convenes after four long years.
		While the opposition welcomed the gesture and announced Nepali Congress party leader Girija Prasad Koirala would be the new prime minister, the Maoists struck a discordant note.
		Koirala and the seven parties reacted quickly, avowing their commitment to hold the election that would leave it to the people to decide if Nepal would remain a monarchy or become a republic.

		Koirala's recent move to by-pass the Deuba committee and start talks with the Maoist dealt a big blow to Deuba who was developing an image as the only acceptable leader in the congres with whom Maoists would talks.
		Despite calls from the dissidents that Koirala should step down from the party presidentship and not stand in the election in the forthcoming election, there is still a big possibility that he would do so.
		The present political trend is a clear pointer that Koirala is once again going to become the strongman in the party's general convention slated for early next year.
