When Janata Dal (JD) wanted the wheel with twenty-four spokes as its symbol, Dhanoa and Seigell gave it only three. Since it seemed to resemble the logo of the Youth Congress, Dhanoa agreed to increase the number of the spokes to six. Dissatisfied with the decision, the fiery Devi Lal, a member of the JD delegation, stomped out of the Commission’s room thundering, ‘We shall be back in a couple of months and you will be the first to be thrown out.’ This was one poll ‘promise’ that was honoured. On 1 January 1990, the President issued a notification reverting to a single-member Commission.
