Perspective
The body was founded in 1966, when the state was created from part of the state of Punjab, by the Punjab Reorganisation Act, 1966. The house initially had 54 seats, ten reserved for scheduled castes, this was increased to 81 seats in March 1967, and to 90 seats (including 17 reserved seats) in 1977.[4] The highest number of seats ever won was in 1977 when Janata Party won 75 out of 90 seats in the aftermath of the 1975–77 emergency by Indian National Congress's (INC) Indira Gandhi. 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 the nepotistic clans of five political dynasts, Lal trio (Devi Lal, Bansi Lal and Bhajan Lal) as well as the Hooda clan and Rao Birender clan.[6][7] The Mewat 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 infamous Aaya Ram Gaya Ram politics, named after Gaya Lal in 1967, of frequent floor-crossing, turncoating, switching parties and political horse trading within short span of time became associated with Haryana.[9][10][11][12]
