Later, Mewat vikas sabha was founded in 200 and carried out a series of public awareness campaigns. This forced both the major parties, congress and the Indian National Lok Dal to announce their support for the new district before theassembly elections held in February 2005. The new district came into existence in july 2005.

At the end of this movement, the State Assembly was dissolved, the government was dismissed, and fresh elections were held. The Asom Gana Parishad, formed out of The AASU, contested and won the elections, forming the Government of Assam. This is the best example in which we can easily see that that how a pressure group came up to form government
