Results in the last four elections: In the 2000 elections, Jai Prakash of the Congress gained over INLD’s Parmila Barwala. The Congress continued to remain in power in the following elections as its candidates Randhir and Ram Niwas Ghorela defeated INLD candidates in 2005 and 2009 respectively. However, in 2014, the INLD emerged victorious as BJP politician Surender Punia lost to Ved Narang.
Demographics: Named in honour of King Bal, the region came to be known as Balwala and is today called Barwala, a corrupted form of its original name. It is home to an ashram of religious leader Rampal, a self-proclaimed incarnation of Kabir, around whom thousands gathered in November, 2014, to prevent his arrest. Rampal is serving a life sentence for murder.
