In September 1953 a by-election was held for the Bhinai seat.[2] [3] In the original election, the Bhinai seat had been won by Kalyan Singh of the Bharatiya Jan Sangh, who defeated the Indian National Congress candidate Madan Singh with 3,164 votes (51.58%) against 2,970 (48.42%).[4] However, the election in Bhinai was declared void as nomination papers had been improperly rejected and a by-election was called. Three candidates contested the by-election; Kalyan Singh of BJS, Chiman Singh of INC and independent candidate Misri Lal Chitlangia.[5] Kalyan Singh retained the seat with 3,662 votes (65.3%). The Congress candidate got 1,635 votes (29.2%) and Chitalngia got 310 votes (5.5%).
