Aaya Ram Gaya Ram expression in politics of India means the frequent floor-crossing,turncoating,switching parties and political horse trading in the legislature by the elected politicians and political parties. The term originated in 1967 in Haryana where excessive political horse trading,counter horse trading and counter-counter horse trading took place;triggering several rounds of frequent political defections by the serial-turncoat politicians within a span of few weeks;resulting in the dissolution of the Haryana Legislative Assembly and consequently the fresh elections were held in 1968. It became the subject of numerous jokes and cartoons. After 1967,several parties in India often continued to be involved in this type of political horse-trading to grab the power. To end this trend,the anti-defection law was made in 1985. The trend still continues to surface every now and then,by exploiting the loopholes in existing anti-defection laws to benefit a specific party through further horse-trading,counter-defections,formation of unholy alliances and electoral fraud. This misuse,by the collusion of corrupt politicians/parties with the partisan Speaker and/or Governor,can be somewhat prevented by the political opponents by going to the court for immediate intervention.
