Aaya Ram Gaya Ram incident
[edit]Gaya Lal in 1967 changed party thrice in a day first from the Indian National Congress to United Front, back to Congress and then within nine hours to United Front again. When Gaya Lal decided to quit the United Front and join the Congress, then Congress leader Rao Birender Singh brought him to Chandigarh press and declared "Aaya Ram Gaya Ram". It became the subject of numerous jokes and cartoons. In 1985 the Constitution was amended to prevent such defections.
Lal's son Udai Bhan is presently State President of Haryana unit of Indian National Congress.[4]
