Gaya Lal in 1967 changed party thrice in a fortnight first from the [[Indian National Congress]] to [[Janata Party]], back to Congress and then within nine hours to [[Janata Party]] again. When Gaya Lal decided to quit the [[United Front]] and join the Congress, then Congress leader [[Rao Birendra Singh]] brought him to [[Chandigarh]] press and declared "[[Aaya Ram Gaya Ram]]". It became the subject of numerous jokes and cartoons. [[Anti-defection law (India)|In 1985 the Constitution was amended]] to prevent such defections.
