There are four Lals in Haryana politics. Devi Lal, Bansilal, Bhajan Lal and Manohar Lal. Manohar Lal is the only one in his family who is in politics. But the sons of the other three Lals have also entered politics. In this election, 10 sons of these three Lals have entered the fray and are contesting from different parties. If we talk about BJP, then someone or the other from the family of all the three Lals has contested the election on its ticket. Not only this, there are many other members who are trying to contest the election either as independents or from some party.
The three Lals, who have been the Chief Ministers of the state many times and have been the pivot of Haryana politics for 5 decades, have left behind a strong political legacy, which is like a guarantee of victory for their family members. 6 people from the family of former Deputy PM Devi Lal are contesting elections from the seats of Sirsa and Jind districts. Talking about Sirsa, INLD general secretary Abhay Chautala is contesting from Ellenabad. Apart from this, Abhay’s son Arjun Chautala will contest for the first time from Rania seat. Abhay Chautala’s cousin Aditya Chautala will contest from Dabwali seat. He is the son of Devi Lal’s younger son Jagdish.
On the other hand, Dushyant Chautala of Jannayak Janta Party, which is a part of Devi Lal’s legacy, is contesting from Uchana Kalan constituency. This is a seat in Jind district. Dushyant’s brother Digvijay Chautala is contesting from Dabwali. Here the fight will be within the family. Another son of Devi Lal, Ranjit Singh Chautala, is going to contest as an independent from Rania seat. He has not got a ticket from BJP. On the other hand, the fight within the family of former CM Bansi Lal has also become interesting. His granddaughter Shruti Chaudhary and grandson Anirudh Chaudhary will face each other from Tosham seat. Shruti has been given a ticket by BJP and her mother Kiran has been sent to Rajya Sabha.
Bansi Lal’s son-in-law Sombir Singh also wants a ticket from Congress and is staking claim on the Loharu seat. Now talking about Bhajan Lal’s family, BJP has again given a chance to Bhavya Bishnoi from Adampur seat. This is a seat in Hisar district. The interesting thing is that Bhajan Lal’s elder son Chandramohan wants a ticket from Congress. He is staking claim on the Panchkula seat. Sunaina Chautala from Tau Devi Lal’s family is also staking claim from the Fatehabad seat.
