Relu Ram Punia was belong from my Village Parbhuwala. He was a multi-millionaire,was elected legislator from the Barwala assambly segment as an Independent Candidate in 1996.
Mr. Relu Ram Punia was a one-election wonder. He was from the Barwala Assembly constituency in 1996. As an Independent candidate.He entered poltics after making tonnes of money in the controversial business of mobile oil which,many suspected,used to be spurious. His product was popularly known as ''KALA TEL''.
But this did not weigh on the mind of the Barwala electors who voted Mr. Punia in a big way. One factor responsible for his victory was the sympathy generated for him when he was denied the LOK DAL ticket. It was talk of the area that Mr. Relu Ram Punia had financed the LOK DAL ( Devi Lal Party ) in a big way before the 1996 election. The party had been out of pawar for five years. It was badly in need of resources. His nomination by the LOK DAL from Barwala was taken for granted.The money power at his command also contributed significantly in his victory.
His compaign was centered on a slogan which became a catch ward in the area.His supporters to chant while campaigning that '' Relu Ram ki rail chalegi;bin paani,bin tel chalegi ''.
After his election,he extended support to the Bansi Lal Government.
