Chautala clan's political struggles: A legacy in crisis

Once dominant in Haryana, Chautala family grapples with internal rifts and diminished influence ahead of assembly polls
Once the powerhouse of Haryana politics, the Chautala clan, descendants of the late Devi Lal, now finds itself fighting for political survival. The Indian National Lok Dal (INLD), a party founded by Devi Lal has seen a sharp decline from its former glory, thanks to the split caused in the Chautala family after formation of Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) in 2018, led by OP Chatuala's grandson Dushyant Chautala.
Smashed by the split, INLD managed to win only one seat in 2019, with its vote share plummeting from 24.11% in 2014 to a mere 2.44%. In a desperate bid to regain lost ground in 2024 with the help of Dalit and Jat combine, now the INLD has forged an alliance with the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), ceding a significant 37 out of 90 seats to its new partner.
