Pt. Tarkeshwar Pandey (1910 - 1989) was an Indian Member of Parliament from 1952 to 1977. He was in jail from 1932 to 1939. He was the only Congress MP to have opposed the Hindu Code Bill in Indian Parliament. Was MP from Salempur from 1972 to 1977 (http://parliamentofindia.nic.in/ls/lok05/state/05lswb.htm). Strangely is associated more with Ballia politics than Salempur. Has a village named after him in Ballia and a colony in Varanasi.
