1972 Haryana Legislative Assembly election

The 1972 Haryana Legislative Assembly election was conducted on March 23, 1972, to elect the members of the 4th Haryana Legislative Assembly. This election marked a significant political transition in the state, held under the backdrop of the recent reorganization of Punjab that resulted in Haryana being established as a separate state in 1966. The Indian National Congress, under the leadership of President Dharam Singh, emerged as the dominant party, securing a substantial majority in the assembly. The election was notable for its high voter turnout and the political emergence of regional parties that would shape Haryana's future political landscape. The results were pivotal, setting the course for state governance and party dynamics in subsequent years.
