INC won only 3 seats,Vishal Haryana Party and independents both won 5 seats each.[ 5]
Since the formation of Haryana in 1966, the state politics became infamously dominated by thenepotistic clans of fivepolitical dynasts , Lal trio (Devi Lal ,Bansi Lal andBhajan Lal ) as well as theHooda clan andRao Birender clan .[ 6] [ 7] TheMewat region , remotely to the rest of Haryana since its formation, has been dominated by three major political dynasts (Tayyab Husain ,Rahim Khan ,Khurshid Ahmed ).[ 8] The infamousAaya Ram Gaya Ram politics, named afterGaya Lal in 1967, of frequentfloor-crossing ,turncoating ,switching parties andpolitical horse trading within short span of time became associated with Haryana.[ 9] [ 10] [ 11] [ 12]
