Devi Lal’s political capital is depleting
Devi Lal, ‘Tau’ to the world of politics in Haryana & Deputy Prime Minister for two short terms, is one of the founders of the state, in the mid 1960s and is seen as the natural inheritor to the Chottu Ram legacy, the legendary Jat leader of pre-1947 Punjab. He became Chief Minister, riding the anti-Emergency wave in 1977 and since then, dominated the state like a colossus. A member of Congress till 1971, he became a bitter anti-Congress leader for the rest of his political life. He won simultaneous elections from two constituencies in the anti-Congress wave of 1989, from Rohtak in Haryana and Sikar in Rajasthan. Son and former Haryana Chief Minister, Omprakash Chauthala told B&E: “My father gave the respect that farmers needed. He practically built Haryana and laid down the foundation of a strong agricultural society. That is why he is worshipped here.” Chauthala, aware that the Assembly elections are still far away, is looking for a national role for himself, in any United Front Government that may come to power in next general elections. His sons, Ajay & Abhay, too are waiting in the wings. While Ajay is a MP, Abhay is content with state politics.
