Voters in Haryana's Bhiwani required unusual discernment in 1989. The seat had 5 candidates named Om Prakash, 4 named Rajbir, 3 Jaivirs, 3 Dalbirs, 3 Hawa Singhs, 2 Suraj Bhans, 2 Ramphals, 2 Ram Niwases, 2 Ram Mehars, 2 Ram Singhs, 2 Sumers, 2 Man Singhs, 2 Rajenders, 2 Diwan Singhs, 2 Nihal Singhs and even 2 Ishwars.
Bansi Lal of the Congress won.
Any guesses why?
