The expression 'aaya ram gaya ram' originated due to the action of which politcal leader in 1967? |
Gaya Lal Ram Lal Devi Lal Brijender Singh |
Gaya Lal |
The correct answer is Option (1) → Gaya Lal "The expression ‘aya ram, gaya ram’ became popular in the political vocabulary in India to describe the practice of frequent floor crossing by legislators. Literally translated the terms meant, Ram came and Ram went. The expression originated in an amazing feat of floor crossing achieved by Gaya Lal, an MLA in Haryana, in 1967. He changed his party thrice in a fortnight, from Congress to United Front, back to Congress and then within nine hours to United Front again! It is said that when Gaya Lal declared his intention to quit the United Front and join the Congress, the Congress leader, Rao Birendra Singh brought him to Chandigarh press and declared “Gaya Ram was now Aya Ram”.". |
