Udai Bhan was born to [[Gaya Lal]] in the modern-day [[Palwal district]] of [[Haryana]].<ref name="auto" /> His father was elected as a Member of the [[Haryana Legislative Assembly]] from the [[Hassanpur Assembly constituency|Hassanpur constituency]] multiple times.
Mr. Udai Bhan was born in Hodal in Palwal district in Haryana.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://haryanaassembly.gov.in/mla-details/?id=23091 | title=MLA Details | date=17 July 2018 }}</ref> His father Mr. [[Gaya Lal]] was a Member of the Haryana Legislative Assembly from the [[Hodal]] constituency in Palwal district. Contesting as an Independent candidate from [[Hassanpur]], reserved for Scheduled Castes (SCs), Gaya Lal defeated the Congress’s M Singh by 360 votes, garnering 10,458 votes against Singh’s 10,098 votes. Days later, he joined the Congress.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://indianexpress.com/article/india/political-pulse/udai-bhan-haryana-cong-chief-aaya-ram-gaya-open-ended-doors-7898396/ | title=Udai Bhan as Haryana Cong chief: Of Aaya Rams, Gaya Rams, and open-ended doors | date=3 May 2022 }}</ref> Mr. Udai Bhan's grandfather Chaudhary Dharam Singh was also a noted politician and was elected as the Chairman of [[Hodal]] Municipal Corporation several times between 1928 to 1942.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/chandigarh/haryana-congress-revamped-udai-bhan-replaces-selja-as-pcc-president-7889790/ | title=In a win for Bhupinder Hooda, loyalist Udai Bhan appointed Haryana Congress chief | date=28 April 2022 }}</ref>

In 1967, Udai Bhan's father, Gaya Lal, changed parties four times within one day. He was elected an independent candidate but he joined the [[Indian National Congress]]. Then he switched to the [[United Front]], then back to Congress, and then within nine hours back to United Front again. When Gaya Lal decided to quit the United Front and join the Congress, then Congress leader [[Birender Singh (politician, born 1921)|Rao Birender Singh]] brought him to [[Chandigarh]] to attend a press confrence. [[Rao Birender Singh]] declared "[[Aaya Ram Gaya Ram]]", based upon his name Gaya Lal.

The term of "[[Aaya Ram Gaya Ram]]" became a well known expression in national Indian politics and is used within all regions of India to describe the act of frequent [[Anti-defection law (India)|political defection]]. It is due to Gaya Lal's infamous incident that this term became prominent in the political vocabulary of India. In 1985, the [[1984 Indian general election|Congress]] government [[List of amendments of the Constitution of India|amended the constitution]] to prevent such incidents under the [[Anti-defection law (India)|Anti-defection law]].

Early life

Udai Bhan was born to Gaya Lal in the modern-day Palwal district of Haryana.[2] His father was elected as a Member of the Haryana Legislative Assembly from the Hassanpur constituency multiple times.

In 1967, Udai Bhan's father, Gaya Lal, changed parties four times within one day. He was elected an independent candidate but he joined the Indian National Congress. Then he switched to the United Front, then back to Congress, and then within nine hours back 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 to attend a press confrence. Rao Birender Singh declared "Aaya Ram Gaya Ram", based upon his name Gaya Lal.

The term of "Aaya Ram Gaya Ram" became a well known expression in national Indian politics and is used within all regions of India to describe the act of frequent political defection. It is due to Gaya Lal's infamous incident that this term became prominent in the political vocabulary of India. In 1985, the Congress government amended the constitution to prevent such incidents under the Anti-defection law.

Ch. Udai Bhan's grandfather Dharam Singh was also a noted politician and was elected as the Chairman of Hodal Municipal Corporation several times between 1927 and 1942.[3]

Political career

Udai Bhan fought and won his first assembly election from Hassanpur in 1987 as a candidate of Lok Dal under the leadership of Chaudhary Devi Lal and won the seat twice thereafter — in 2000 as an Independent candidate and later in 2005 as a Congress candidate.[4] Udai Bhan was the chairman of the Krishak Bharati Cooperative (KRIBHCO) between 1989 and 1993 and joined the Congress in 1997.[5] Bhan won the Hodal (reserved) seat as a Congress candidate in 2014[6] but lost in the last assembly election to the BJP's Jagdish Nayar with a very small margin of 3,387 votes.[7] He actively supported 2020–2021 Indian farmers' protest which was a protest against three farm acts that were passed by the Parliament of India in September 2020.[8] On 19 November 2021, the union government decided to repeal the bills,[64] and both houses of Parliament passed the Farm Laws Repeal Bill, 2021 on 29 November.[9]

In April, 2022 Udai Bhan was appointed as the new State President of Haryana unit of Indian National Congress.[4][10]
