Kishore Lal

Kishore Lal (also spelled as Kishor Lal) is a former member of the parliament of India from Bharatiya Lok Dal (later known as Janata Party). He won the 1977 Indian general election from the East Delhi (Lok Sabha constituency). In 1977 he defeated Congress stalwart leader H. K. L. Bhagat by a margin of 133,107 votes. Kishore Lal gained 240,594 votes while Harkishan Lal Bhagat alias H.K.L. Bhagat could secure only 107,487 votes. Lal's success in 1977 was part of an infamous defeat of the Congress party in the 1977 election following The Emergency. In 1980, H.K.L Bhagat returned to his seat when he defeated Lal by a margin of 22%. Lal attempted to challenge Bhagat in 1984 and 1989, but was unsuccessful. He did not attempt to challenge the East Delhi seat in 1991. Provided by Wikipedia
